Good morning lovelies. Hurricane Irene is definitely on her way. This weekend, I had the grand idea to go to New York to venture out to the Afro Punk concert in Brooklyn. Besides the concert, I had a family gathering that I wanted to attend. Unknown to me, I went to work with a large rolling bag and my essentials (underwear) that I needed for the weekend. I figured I wouldn't bring clothes with me because I could always shop in New York. My last hour of work, I received a tip from a co-worker to not go anywhere because New York was going to be shut down. I kept hearing the whole entire day about Irene who I didn't know existed until the last minute. I bought my ticket and then looked up what every one was talking about. From the MTA site, I gathered that New York would be shutting down at 12pm today, meaning I would have to stay my behind at my grandmother's house. Then to top that off, how would I get back to DC if the trains and buses weren't working? Bridges are also to be shut down because the wind will pick up to 60 mph. I'm so sad about my loss of adventure in the big city but much more happier to be sitting at my computer out of harms way. Damn you, Irene!!!
I watched a video recently about Irene's effect in North Carolina. She's a force not to reckoned with at this moment. Rain started falling in DC already.
