For the record, I was never really afraid of Hurricane Irene. In fact, up until the Amagansett Fire Department delivered our evacuation notice, I was willing to to "ride her out". But when my calm, cool and collected husband was checking out hotels in Riverhead (about an hour inland)that was when I began to panic. Our friends have a house in East Hampton, further inland with a back up generator and graciously offered to let us stay with them (including our babysitter, and two dogs) during the hurricane.
So now comes the real dilemma. If Irene really did wipe out our beach and beach front rental, what do you take with you?
