Whether your loss from Tropical Storm Irene was minor or major, Plaintalker wishes you recovery and renewal over the long weekend.
Block 832 was largely spared from damage and power outages. Other residents were not so fortunate, as the many videos made by Plainfielders attest. Travel was difficult and shopping for food or supplies was hindered by store closings and power failures. Things taken for granted became impossible for the moment.
There is a children's book that has the refrain, "It could have been worse." If you look around the storm's path, there are many examples of worse problems than what we experienced here. Pockets of disaster are still being uncovered in rural Vermont and some services such as the Port Jervis train line will be down for months.
So take heart in what you have been able to do so far to re-establish normality and enjoy the weekend.
