There was a lot of talk about the Shore receiving a direct hit from Hurricane Irene in late August. We spent a few days obsessing over the Weather Channel. From our experiences in Wilmington we know how the weather media loves to dramatize any weather event. The difference this time was that our road floods, blocking us in and we live in a double-wide. So, because we didn't want to end up rowing out of Quinby or living the Wizard of Oz as our house got swept away by the wind I took Guinness and the girls and we went to camp out with the Smiths at their house. Grace and Sarah Elizabeth were bummed they didn't get to go out in the eye and that they slept through the short period of time we lost power. As you can see from the pictures, they were ready!

Suited up and ready to go!
Chris and Shabaka had to stay at the farm to run the generator and keep the fish alive. Chris actually spent the night in an empty fish tank. Here are some pictures of their time in the barn.
