In preparation for Irene, last night we, along with the rest of the world, picked up some food items and started thinking about what we may need to do to prepare.  However, we are in a world of pain right now.  I didn’t realize till this morning that we are almost out of coffee creamer.  And we didn’t get any last night.  This could be a tragedy.

As the east coast hunkers down this morning to weather what may be the largest storm to hit the east coast I felt it only necessary to respond.

I give you : Hurricane Irene

And on the serious side,

Here are some cool sites to check out with info on Irene:

• Irene from space
• Irene in motion
• Long Beach Island Web Cam

So, let’s share… What are some of your storm essentials?  What did you run out to the store to stock up on before you head inside for the next 36 hours?  

Trying to stay dry,
