Hurricane Irene Nantucket

Well, here we go again! Big predictions. Lots of people leaving the Island. Who would have known that we'd have a beautiful sunny, albeit, windy day!
I put my commemorative Hurricane Irene shells in the window with a framed print.
Here is a new box....


I didn't open the shop . I walked around town a bit to see what was going on. A big branch down on Centre Street.
John and I took down our signs. The bank was all boarded up.
Some shops on Main Street are not taking any chances.

The Lion's Paw has a lot of windows! They boarded up and were closed for the day.
Look at that blue sky! You wouldn't believe it if you didn't see it here . The ocean was a howlin'! The biggest waves I have ever seen here. As of 3 pm, the sun is shining, the wind is blowing, and there is a lot of kindling to pick up tomorrow. I met some people who flew in on the last plane out of NYC yesterday.... good decision! The rest of the week is supposed to be beautiful.....I hope everyone who was actually in the hurricane is safe and sound.Onward we go....Thanks for looking!
