Hurricane Irene - the next day

Well the weather has completely calmed down once again and you would almost never know we had had a down graded hurricane through the area. However I went for a walk this morning only to discover that sections of the main road just in front of the college have been closed due to downed trees and there are a few areas on campus where trees have fallen down. Aside from that and a little silt on the side of the road in some areas as well as a very dirty looking creek everything is normal and no damage to the buildings have occurred. There are men here working on clearing away the fallen trees and have been all morning. Hopefully they dont have too much more to do. Classes start today and Im very excited. The dining hall has opened properly now as they have all their required licences and things so the chefs are cooking on premises and producing a lot of different food options which is great. The trains in the state are still not running as New Jersey itself took a fair battering from the hurricane but the buses are on the move and it shouldn't be long before everything is back to business as usual.
