[AT] Hurricane Irene

[Al Jones]

We did ok too, lost power from about 12:30 PM Saturday through 6AM Sunday morning.  No damage to our home, some trees down here and there.  Some people fared much worse than we did, VERY thankful.

Corn is not blown down much because there's not much ear on the stalk.
