It’s been a crazy week, and I apologize for not posting more. As far as I know, no one in the neighborhood has reported any noticeable, significant damage from the recent earthquakes. There have been some downed tree branches and at least one downed power line, but some of that may be attributed to the thunderstorm that came through the area last night.

Now many neighbors are wondering what Hurricane Irene will bring– besides refugees from the southeast. Many neighbors remember all the trees knocked down by Hurricane Isabel in 2003. Anyway, please feel free to post some good Oregon Hill survival tips and stories in the comments section below. Hope folks have chain saws ready.
