It’s 11am and Irene showed up in the form of a few strong wind gusts, but still no rain. The power went off about 10:30. I just sitting here in my chair, screen door open, watching and listening to the wind. It’s still strange – I never sat through a “dry” hurricane before. And now, the SUN just came out, went back in quickly, and another big gust came through. It’s almost like just any windy summer afternoon, except we have no power. This really doesn’t seem like we’re in the middle of a hurricane at all. Not still anymore, but still strange.
And so, as another afternoon goes by, I think Irene sent her little sister to visit me instead, and….I will keep writing.
