I don't know what Irene did to these Maine woods but it was pretty brutal here in my neck of the woods. We just now got electrical power restored, after more than two full days without. The storm itself was massive. It took about 18 hours to pass over, with at least a dozen of those hours filled with deafening, howling, roaring, unrelenting winds and rain. Trees were coming down all over our neighborhood but almost miraculously these trees in my neighbor's yard and several like them (in age, size and aesthetic significance) on my own property made it through okay. Our Prairiefire and hawthorn trees made it okay too.

Good to know that you're all right. I can't imagine going through that kind of hellacious storm. When it comes to heavy weather, I'm necessarily a California (specifically a San Francisco) wimp -- I get overheated at 80°, and freak out when water falls from the sky for more than an hour.
Okay, not really, but... well, yeah, actually -- really.
It's just great to have power again. And running water (our water well runs on electricity). It was only a couple of days but that was debilitating.
I should have made a short movie of the storm wind and sounds. Mary cracked a door for the cat to look out the first morning and his tail instantly turned into a huge column of puffed fur. It was truly a hellish sound. Mother nature can be wicked.
Glad everything's okay there.
That is a wicked looking sky.
Yes. What E6 said.
It was actually clearing up at that point. But it was pretty dramatic.
