I stopped in on Mom in the morning, before the weather moved in, but she was not to be roused. As of late morning Sunday, we're still waiting for them to open our beach back up, and for the owner to report on the condition of our rental. We're optimistic that we can get into the rental today or tomorrow.
Here in Alexandria, the storm was mainly just a lot of wind and water, but very little damage. Even at the water's edge in old town there was no flooding, because we were on the "back end" (western side) of the core of the storm. I spoke to Woodbine this morning, and they lost incoming calls, but not outgoing (they called me to let me know.) The technicians are working on the incoming call problem, but they did not lose power or have to evacuate.
I hope all of you on the U.S. East Coast will have or had a similarly easy time with Irene, and wanted to let everyone know that here in Alexandria she was only an inconvenience.
