Irene Hits Wilton

The hurricane is almost over. We have been very lucky so far. We have not lost power, but 75% of Wilton residents are without power. 700,000 CT residents are without electricity.

Our yard and driveway are littered with tree limbs and leaves. Thankfully, no large trees came down on our property. We are supposed to have strong winds later tonight, so I am not sure if this may change.

The local news says the main road that our street connects to is blocked by downed trees and power lines. I am not sure when we will be able to leave our neighborhood.

We heard from our LI family and everyone is doing ok, although there is a power outage in Oakdale.
