Caitlin, Chino, and I are very lucky and grateful to have had a somewhat uneventful experience with Hurricane Irene on Saturday night.

We live close to Battery Park in “Zone A”, so we were forced to evacuate the area as of 5pm on Saturday. We crashed at a friend’s apartment, and subsisted on a steady diet of Weather Channel, CNN, and junk food.

We’re back in our apartment now, and other than the fact that we don’t have hot water (the city shut off steam in our building), considering what so many other people have been through in Virginia, North Carolina, and elsewhere, we’re very thankful.
