The worst seems to be over. Occasional gusts of wind, but overall just breezy and drizzling. Radar indicates that the rain has passed, and it might be partly sunny later today. TB cleaned out his closet and made cutoff jean shorts. I put on thick heathered boot socks, 90's style. Irene has set fashion back 20 years in our household. This storm was a monster.
