My girls spent the day locked up in their coop. I boarded one of the windows which would be getting most of the wind and latched the other closed. I went out to check on them a few times and they were all perched on the roost just looking out the window. Didn't seem to care much about it. We lost power for a while, but it is back on now and everyone seems to be ok. Now the clean-up can begin. So, at least in this part of NC, we survived. Glad Irene is moving on.
