I hope not because I'll most likely be making more of the same. It is impossible to walk or drive in any direction without encountering evidence of the Irene. Some roads and bridges are still closed and, despite the town's best efforts, there are still piles of ruined furniture, carpets, appliances, and assorted other stuff much in view. The National Guard, prisoner work details, various fire departments, town work crews, volunteers, and NYS DOT (Dept of Transportation) are all working long and diligently to do cleanup and repair in the aftermath of Irene. They'll be at it for quite a while.
And, credit were credit is due - FEMA has been at our house for an inspection and has determined that we are to be awarded nearly $6K for our repair work. All that within the course of 5 days after we were declared to be eligible and a total of 10 days after the event. FEMA must have learned their lesson after Katrina - they responded very quickly to Irene.

first image reminds me how long since you've taken an "itchy/scratchy" shot.
Man, you guys have been pounded along with my son in Washington County and my daughter in Orange while I am here in FloriDUH with sun and 90 degree weather. Actually we are lucky.
