Checking in from the New Hampshire seacoast. All we are getting at this point is bands of heavy rain from time to time.
We were headed to a camp in Bethel ME originally, and had spent 2 nights in VT waiting out the direction of the storm. Since we are in a motorhome, and with no friends or family in the area to help if we got into trouble, we decided to go back to Upstate New York to ride it out. The path of Irene still seems to being going directly over Bethel, so we feel we made the right decision to come back here. We are in Herkimer NY, and its raining steadily, but not hard, and no wind to speak of.
