Irene made landfall yesterday in NC (where my family happened to be vacationing up until Thursday when we were evacuated).
Apparently it followed us home as we are now getting pelted by heavy rain and significant winds.
So far so good, but I can't get to sleep with the winds pelting the house. It also doesn't help that my dining room windows are leaking at the tops. This is something we've known about, but it only ever happens in a driving rain, where the window is blowing the rain into the front of the house.
Right now I've got some towels duct taped to the window to try to keep it from dripping down onto the sill and the carpet. But now I've got my work cut out for me.... I'm going to have to pull the trim on the outside of the window, try to figure out where the leak is and repair it. Not looking forward to that job - and that's not to mention the interior drywall repairs that will be needed once everything dries out.
So, how is everyone faring? Hopefully everyone is safe and damage is minimal.
