HURRICANE IRENE in the BERKSHIRES
This was a bad Hurricane for Berkshire County. I think the storm was easy on us compared to upstate NY and Vermont.we had very little damage just a lot of rain. I have a small stream 3 foot wide behind my house and it went over the banks 20 feet wide in some places. never seen so much water before.

The phone’s mic isn’t really picking up the rumble that we are hearing… we thought jets were evacuating somewhere, as it was a deep loud rumbling noise!
In Nothern Berkshire County we got very little wind, No wind damage here. Iwas very calm and I expected we were in the eye and itwould start blowing anditnever did. We almost always miss the big storms,they go by either north or south of us. I think it hassomething to do with Mount Greylock and surounding mointains protect us and move north and south a bit.
