Thank you for your tireless work on all the posts, MuffyBee.
 

I was just getting ready to post the same thing!  Thanks Muffy for all your vigiliant updates and Klaas for checking in on the Monkeys.  This place truly is a family!

New York Subway Running in Time for Morning Commute
August 29, 2011

The New York City subway, whose closure in the lead-up to Tropical Storm Irene was perhaps the most unsettling element of a prodigious storm preparation effort, reopened on a limited schedule on Monday morning.
Nearly all of the subway’s 22 lines, including express and local service, have restored, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Web site. Fewer trains will run than in a normal morning rush.

Still, other parts of the region’s mass transit network are likely to remain partially paralyzed for the morning commute, including the suburban commuter rail networks that carry thousands of workers to hospitals, investment houses and corner bodegas alike.

Vermont devastation widespread, 2nd death confirmed after Irene blows through
August 29, 2011

Vermont is reeling this morning from what is becoming the state’s worst natural disaster since the epic flood of 1927. Two people, including a child, have died in the storm, hundreds of roads statewide are closed, and thousands of homes and businesses suffered power outages and serious damage from flooding associated with Tropical Storm Irene.

Maine Utilities: Full Power Restoration Could Take Days
August 29, 2011

About 150,000 Maine residents remain without power after yesterday's tropical storm. Crews from Central Maine Power and Bangor Hydro Electric were on the road today, working to fix the outages caused by Irene. Officials say it could be a few more days before all homes are brought back on line.

Shout out to CBB!!     I hope you and your loved ones are safe and we hear from you soon, when you can check in.    

I don't think CBB is near the hurricane area.

NUT, SAN and Bearly I think are.  SAN stayed home today but I don't see her online right now so either she is really tired or the power went out.  Bearly is OK, power back on.  Nut did log in this morning but didn't post.

At DD now so I could get on my laptop going to be 10 days until we get power all the rich people are first then the us this is costing so much in gas for generator and I'm feeling a little crazy right now ..
Walmart lost all of their food their generator did go on this feels like the end of the world no reg gas only $5.00 a gal gas this is BS

I am glad to hear everyone made it through the storm.

Doo-Wop Daddies -- "Who Put the Bomp" Live at Festa Italiana (HD) - July 23, 2011

A fun song for baby boomers.  I realize Irene is a pain in the caboose, I try to make the best of the situation, music and
work  

Blonde, I am sorry you are struggling without power, I am so thankful you are still here.  Brandi and the other Monkey's,
I am so grateful you are here too.

[Brandi]

Hoping Brandi in VA is okay.

Thank you for thinking of me, Gypsy!

Just got back.

Lost power Saturday night around 6:30.

There are still ~50% of the customers in our tri-cities area without power. They expect everyone to have power back sometime Saturday. That's a week without power.

We were lucky to have ours finally restored.

Home on our block had an uprooted tree fall on it and literally split the home in two. The elderly couple living in it were lucky to escape.

Trees uprooted, power lines down everywhere. Many gas stations that had power ran out of gas. It's been a mess around here.

We went from being a Jetson household on Saturday to being a Walton household.

The worst part was Saturday night with the winds and not having power, so we could not see what was happening out there. Just heard the winds. Scary.

But we are fine now, and have power!!!

Just working my way through this thread to see how everyone else did. Hope our monkeys fared well.

Glad to see everything is ok for you and family!  I couldn't keep track of all the Coastal Monkeys. 

We need a separate thread for Monkeys to post Monkey name and State, so during any natural disaster we can look out for each other!

Glad to see you are fine also.

I had been posting in this thread until we lost power.

I also am anxious to hear from all our monkeys who were in the path of Irene.

I suspect quite a few of us will be without power for about a week.

We were lucky to get it back so soon.
