Thanks for checking in. Good news about the brief power outage. How much rain have you received in your area from Irene?
I haven't seen the rain gauge since I'm awake, I would estimate about 4-4.5" at this point. Did a walk around after getting geney hooked up and saw 2-3" ponding on low lying grass areas, other areas I walked across were fairly squishy underfoot.
I think I'll try to catch a wink or two, before I'm needed again!
