Hurricane Irene in Poughkeepsie, NY

11:07 a.m. August 28, 2011. View from our hotel. Our 24' sail boat, that we live aboard is a ten minute ride from here. We wonder how she's fairing. Surges of 4'-8' expected. Downgraded to a Tropical Storm we're still eager to get back to the marina. We'll wait for the rain to subside and call a cab.
