Irene 8-28-11 (damage)

This was some of the damage Irene left when she blew through. Tree branch (yes a branch nearly the size of a tree) came down on the wires. It was enough force to snap the one pole off, and rip the wires halfway down the pole closest to the house. We later discovered a tree also came down on the car behind our garage. This video was taken after the rain had mostly left and the wind was starting to pick up. We tend to avoid flooding being up this high, but not so fortunate to be surrounded by trees.
