Hurricane Irene aftermath

Picture by James Sengul. Camera Canon EOS 5D Mark II Lens Canon EF 24-70mm

Even though it the rain stopped it is still windy and trees and branches are still falling causing power outages in places which were not affected earlier.

Morning of the Hurrican in New Jersey

It was raining all night long and we could hear strong winds. In the morning we discovered large broken branch in our neighbor's backyard and small leak in the basement. Other neighbors are reporting the same: broken trees and branches and leaks in the basement. Electricity is still on and that is what matters. But it is not over yet.

Hurricane Irene is here

Outer bands of the Hurricane Irene have reached Northern New Jersey. It raining heavily on and off but the worst is yet to come. There are Hurricane Warning, Flood Warning and Tornado Warning in effect. We are mostly concerned about falling trees and floods in low lying areas here: it's been raining a lot here lately and soil is already over saturated.

Garden G-Scale railroad is a lot of fun. During our visit there were two trains running with a lot of cars. There are several benches where you can seat and observe or you can walk along the most of the path with the train.





Thomas the Tank Engine made an appearance later exciting kids.

Whippany Railway Museum

Whippany Railway Museum is located on the grounds of former Whippany Station of Morristown & Erie Railroad

The station was functional between 1905 and 1928. Museum itself is located in the former freight house with a lot of interesting structures and exibits on the grounds.

.

It is a great place to spend time on Sunday afternoon (the museum is open on Sundays from 12 to 4 pm). There are even a couple of picnic tables available.
