~~Irene- Big Flop~~

    The much awaited Irene didn't bother to make any major impact in the city apart from breaking few branches off the trees and bringing down few letter boxes. Since I forgot to close my bathroom window two of my shampoo bottles were knocked down but as I had closed them tightly not much damage was done.

When I got up in the morning it was bright outside and I knew that the storm was weakened and decided to check how it is outside.  After having my breakfast I ventured out to the nearby river. Wow the sight was awesome the wind and surge from the Atlantic ocean made the  Hudson river to flow in the opposite direction. There were few branches flowing in the river apart from few debris caused by the rain. There were few people who had come to see the river. One person looked at me and said disappointing right, I agreed with him I expected some trees to float in the river. He added he is still more disappointed as he has to goto work on Monday.

It was fun to see seagulls trying fly ,with the wind speed the only thing they could do was to fly in the direction was the wind. I spent more than an hour in the river talk with people there and with few people on the phone. Finally came back home when I was hungry.
