Today most of the town got their power back after about a day and a half without it (not too bad). As you can see there was a lot of debris to clean up, but other than that the damage was pretty low for the most part. By the afternoon everyone was out and about enjoying the beautiful weather. Hurricane Irene sent Newport cleansing rains, giant waves, wind and just a small amount of damage and inconvenience. We were blessed and hoping for the best for those less fortunate. The last two pictures are of Second Beach where there was a lot of surfing going on. It's business as usual (at least recreationally speaking). :0)
