These folks on First Cliff facing Scituate Harbor aren’t taking any chances and boarded up windows Friday morning as Irene made her way up the Eastern Seaboard. Throughout the harbor yesterday folks were busily, calmly going about the business of preparing for the oncoming weather.
It looks like Irene’ll be a tropical storm by the time she reaches our shores – not as bad as a hurricane, but not exactly a boatload of fun, either.
For those who are interested, the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary has a webcam running just up the road from these little houses. Visit their site to peek at what the weather is like as the storm progresses.
Stay safe, everyone!


I hope everyone weather’s the storm without incident. I’m thinking of all of you.
Stay safe! I could only find one house boarded up here- and the marina is still full of boats. Lets hope Irene keeps weakening.
Hmmmm, those structures don’t look very high above the water level. Good luck to you. Our governor is still saying that this will be as bad as Hurricane Gloria. That won’t be good. (Thanks for visiting today.)
