Is Irene still classified as a Hurricane? In all seriousness hope all is safe up there..this seems to be a dreadful event.

Hope no one decided to ride out this storm; anyone in its path should evacuate to an Obama shelter.

Any reports of loss of life?

Checking in from suburban Philadelphia. It’s light out now, and I did a quick walk around the interior of the house. It’s still raining, but lightly. We’re up to 16 hours of rain now. Light breezes; no heavy winds so far. Limbs all over the yard, but nothing major that I can see from the windows. Forecast has been somewhat downgraded by NWS with top wind gusts down to 46 now. Once the family is up we’ll go out and check the creek and the trees. After Isobel we thought that all was OK until we checked the trees and found one had started to uproot and lean toward the house. Power is on.
