The Attack of Irene

~~*~~
The sky is quiet and still The trees are calm The air is thick and heavy. You're nowhere to be found.
The sky grows dark and gloomy Trees start to sway the air fills with anticipation As I can feel your presence coming our way.
Winds pick up and start to pound Shaking the house and everything around. Rains pour down soaking the ground. she has finally come.
Roads washing out power lines down tress and branches line the roads of town. While many are still without power now.

We have been with out power since sunday morning and do not anticipate having it back until friday.. Irene hit our area hard. at one point in time every road was closed due to falling trees and floods.. When I am back up and running I will catch up on comments.. cory
