Irene aftermath

After Hurricane Irene left East Coast things started to come up~
1) Our front yard soil sank about an inch or 2... which led to our walkway to sink also.
2) We realized that there are couple water spots in the living room carpet

Currently I am still thinking what I should do after 2 days.

On Monday i saw an interesting post from Courier Post which they asked readers to submit their experiences with Irene... like tell them what we were doing during Hurricane.. so I actually took the chance to write to them.. hahaha
so here it goes(this is what i did also):
"I just saw the post from Courier Post, and I thought it's pretty interesting that the post is asking about our story that night. So here it goes....
My name is Randy, and I lived in Cherry Hill, NJ(East side). Requested by a friend, I went to their apartment(Near City Ave, PA) early Saturday morning to help them move into their new house before the Hurricane hits. We spent half of afternoon moving things from old appt into the new house and the other half of afternoon cleaning in the new house.
Rain started to come down heavily around 5:30pm and we had to drop a friend back to her Northeast home so we fought against the hard rain on Rt 1. We managed to got her home and also went to an asian super market near Adam's Ave(That was the only place that opened) to buy some food for our Hot Pot party.
We arrived back to the new house safe at 7pm and bunch of us just played Mahjong then had our hotpot dinner until 10:45pm.
Before I left my friend's house i called Ben Franklin Bridge to make sure they were still opened, and I began to drive home. The ride back home was quite a journey for me since I saw 2 trees that were down blocking some parts of road or highway(rt 76) and 10mins before i got home on Rt 70(passed intersection of 295) I've noticed power outage the whole way, all traffic lights and street lights were totally off so i was driving in total darkness. I got home around 11:30pm and took a shower with a flashlight then went straight to bed.(power came back on at 10:25am the next day-13hrs outage since it started around 9pm)
Attached is a pic that i took outside with night view on my camera..it was still too dark."

Hope you guys enjoy reading this!
