Hurricane Irene Live Blog

Zach: "this wasn't a hurricane, it was a hurri-cation."

8.21.2011 12:00pm- Went to the beach. Tried surfing, but there was a terrible shore break, so I tried to give surfer names to the other guys. Johnny Utah, Bohdi, and Cody Maverick weren't that into it, so I went back to shore and documented some conch shell hunting.

drop in, smack the lip, and get pitted.

Bodhi: still waiting for that 50 year storm.

Drove by the tornado damage- good thing we didn't
evacuate, or we would've been closer to the tornado.
Notice the clear blue skies we're having right now.

8.28.11 8:00am- Power is back on. Hurricane over. Not impressed with this Irene character. Then again, there was a tornado here, so I guess I'm going to count my blessings. Here's some pictures from last night of us chilling during the middle of the hurricane.

Kaytee:"you know what the most disappointing part of this hurricane? didn't get to see the end of The Rock" [power went out as it was on tv]

This was the concoction that Kenny made and we all drank.
Yes, those are sprinkles.

8.28.11 2:00am- Right now the eye of the hurricane is supposed to be passing by Lewes. It must be crying because it's still raining. This means the hurricane is half over! I'm going to sleep now, hopefully when I wake up the power will be back on. But I doubt it.

8.27.11 11:45pm- Power is still out. We have now exhausted our supply of bratwurst. Brats were grilled on Joe's propane camp grill. Earlier we went outside during a lull in the storm and played with glow sticks and a glow in the dark frisbee- there'll be some sweet pics of that when civilization is restored. Other stuff I've done is put all our essential refridgerated cosunsumables in coolers, helped eat a melting pint of vanilla ice cream and drank some mystery concoction that Kenny Hoadley mixed up. Currently, the hurricane breeze coming through the screen door is now lulling Joe and Kaytee to sleep. Time to break out the bowls of warm water.

8.27.11 6:25pm- Powers gone. So no more Weather Channel, thank God. Getting texts about a tornado. I believe we've hit the disaster trifecta this week: earthquake, tornado, and hurricane. Will blog again as soon as I can.

8.27.11 5:50pm- Lights flickering. Storm picking up. Ghosts of Daiber past?

8.27.11 5:00pm- Frozen pizza extracted from oven. Pizza has been deemed no longer frozen.

8.27.11 4:45pm- ZVK (Zach VanKirk) has deemed this hurricane a "hurri-lame". Further bulletins as events warrant.

8.27.11 4:20pm- Kaytee has woken up. We have switched the tv back to the weather channel. Kaytee has gone back to sleep. Joe has disappeared to "get his phone".

8.27.11 4:00pm- Lethargy has set in. There were no survivors. 

Kaytee has succumbed to the nappage. ZVK is watching SpaceBalls.

We should probably check to see if she's still breathing.

8.27.11 3:15pm- Zach is on tornado watch: no tornadoes yet.

8.27.11 2:30pm- Started raining again. Situation deteriorating: ran out of bagels. 

8.27.2011 2:00pm- Supposed to be some tropical force winds. Only tropical force beverages.
Difference between hurricane force beverages and tropical force beverages: you can't put an umbrella on a hurricane force beverage.
