Hurricane Irene's "visit" to the area ....

Just in case you were wondering what all the "fuss" was about ......... These are probably less than 20 miles or so from my house! Oh yes I was VERY lucky.

This is the baseball stadium Patriots Stadium, that is less than 10 miles from me - yes that IS the ball field that looks like the swimming pool.

Here is Route 27 in New Brunswick - in the "general area" of Rutgers University.

Here is Route 18 showing the "exit" for Rutgers.

And some of the "shops" in the New Brunswick area off Easton Avenue

Perhaps you heard about part of Route 287 "falling away" ..... here's why. Yes that is the guardrail "floating" in the air.
