Irene Check-In

How's it going out there, Nesties?

Here in Takoma Park we've had some heavy rain and strong winds, but so far we're in good shape with power, cable, etc. I'll be sad when it goes out and I can't watch the 24/7 news coverage anymore!

Re: Irene Check-In

  • just rain and breezes at this point in gainesville...i wouldn't even call it "wind" yet......with all the unplanned renovations going on in our house I cant even watch the news anywyas unless im up in our bedroom which is hard with a toddler so i feel kinda out of the loop.  Thank goodness for the internet:-)
  • It's barely raining at my house in Kensington and barely breezy.

    I just went to the grocery store because DH wants me to make cookies (ywia).  They grocery store was pretty well stocked and there weren't many people in there at all.

    They had the windows taped up though. lol
  • It's not too bad so far. We just went out for cocktails and dinner. Now we're at home, enjoying our electricity while it lasts.

  • so far so good

     

  • periods of heavy rain with strong wind in arlington.  the cable is cutting in & out though.  not sure if this is an issue with the connection in our bedroom vs. an actual issue.

    we made chicken wings for dinner b/c there's nothing like junk food for riding out a storm! heheheheDevil

  • Just some rain in Loudoun. Not much going on! But I'm still using the storm as an excuse to bake something incredibly unhealthy and indulging...Reese's cheesecake brownies.

  • Lots of rain today in Arlington. I was out at Bailey's Crossroads this afternoon and got some big wind gusts as well! 
  • Also in Takoma Park. As of nearly 8:00, winds and rain are getting stronger but power, cable, etc. are still in place. We've got lots of water stocked up and are pretty set on food. I'm avoiding weather coverage in light of House Hunters International (my first time watching!) and hoping for an SVU marathon or something later.

    DH had buffalo wings as an afternoon snack! With a donut.

    All good here in Falls Church so far, but as we keep hearing, the best is yet to come...

  • It's been a basic rainy day here in Leesburg. Not much wind at all. Kinda boring really. Power and cable still working.

  • Lost power at about 5:45, am now playing with the baby by candle light and drinking a beer. We are sleeping on the main level to avoid falling trees. We ate cold cuts and macaroni salad for dinner. I effing hate Pepco.

  • Fortunately, we have not lost power and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we don't. We rarely ever lose it, so I'm hoping that trend continues!! but our internet is a little slow, I'm trying to download a movie and it's taking for-e-ver. (but I'm not really complaining, if that's the biggest inconvenience of this storm, I'll take it!!)

    I made cinnamon pancakes for dinner with apple syrup and baked apples (and bacon of course) for dinner. I have been craving apples like crazy and that dinner totally hit the spot! I can't wait to have leftovers tomorrow for breakfast ;-)

  • DH had to work today.  I took the kids to a playground this morning at 10:00 to get some energy out.  Started raining hard around 10:30, but then we went to a friend's to visit/hang out.  After lunch, long naps for the kids (and about 20 minutes for me - score!), then the girls donned raincoats and rain boots and splashed in puddles for about an hour.  DH came home - we made dinner - made drinks - made more drinks (what is it about bad weather makes me want to drink?) - kids to bed - watching TV now.  More drinks.

    All in all, not a bad day!  Power on so far.

  • Still pretty uneventful here in Arlington. Just heard from my parents in DE (near Rehoboth), they're only getting a little rain and wind there so far as well. Hopefully they won't get slammed as hard as predicted.
