Hurricane Irene – Update 3

I have been trying to post all morning and each time I got a few pictures fixed up and the electric went off again. So here goes again. I guess the breeze is messing with the lines as the lights only stay out for 15 minutes or so.

We did not get hit here in my side of Dominican Republic. Irene was gracious to us. We got some rain, mostly sprinkles and some drizzle. there is a nice breeze, not too strong but it picks up at times. The sky is gray and the Caribbean Sea is a bit choppy and dark. But all in all, it has been fine.

I went out around 8 this morning to walk down to the sea and see what was happening there cause I could see there were some white caps from my balcony view. There was one spot where some spray was coming up onto the Malecon but that was it, at least for the Colonial Zone area.
