October 25, 2012 When I hear warnings of the possibility of a major storm…one the likes of being compared to the “perfect storm” of 1991…I hope for the best but get ready for the worst.
Last time out, with Irene, I went out to get a battery powered sump pump and tried to hook it up…alas to no avail
Hurricane Irene and its remnants raked the Caribbean, the eastern U.S. and Canada for more than a week a year ago. Though it never hit the U.S. as anything stronger than a minimal hurricane, it killed at least 67 people in all and ranks as the costliest Category 1 storm on record since at least 1980. It caused an estimated $15.8 billion in total damage.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency is providing $1.1 million to Somerset County – to help pay for cleanup efforts after Hurricane Irene slammed Jersey last August.
