Irene.
In Manasquan, NJ we were very lucky to have been spared by Irene. Some lost power, lots of trees went down hard, flooding was around but not as bad as other storms we've had, a couple boys died getting swept out in the ocean during the hurricane, but after all is said and done it wasn't nearly as bad here as other places that the hurricane hit along the east coast. We prepared and were spared, thank you! Here's a few images from Sunday morning and later in the day, after being chased by cops all morning and threatened to be ticketed wading through the streets and sneaking up to the beach.
