When Irene Comes To Town

            Hurricane Irene swept through New Jersey early in the morning of August 28, 2011, but I slept through the worst of it.

When I woke up, my house amazingly still had power, and the trees around the house were still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah!), but others in West Caldwell, New Jersey weren't so lucky.  Over on the next avenue, a tree on property did fall down and brought down the wires serving another property.

The avenue, Forest Avenue, was closed between Waverly Place, a connector street running past the side of my house, and Redman Terrace, which meets Forest Avenue behind the white fence in the background.  Another tree fell in the opposite direction, leaving Forest Avenue inaccessible on both ends.  

Look carefully and you can see the downed wires. The red tape (how symbolic!) blocking the road is very visible.
