We're here! I stayed up through Irene and slept late.
Lots of leaves and branches in our front yard. I heard something big crash in the woods out back, but it's way too wet to police the area. Whatever it was, it wasn't too near the house.
My folks live about 20 miles north of us, and they're fine. My sister lives a few houses down the road from them -- their finished basement is under about 6 inches of water and they have lost some furniture and computers. They live on top of a hill and never thought they'd need flood insurance, so this will be out of pocket.
One of my brothers was in California and his flight back was canceled, so he doesn't know about his place yet.
