The perfect storm

Irene, a 500 mile wide 115 m.p.h. hurricane was downgraded to a 65 m.p.h. tropical storm when it landed in N.Y. on Saturday evening. Fortunately Village View had no damage other than to some of our original residents, the trees. With all the cataclysmic prophecies by the media my plans to surf twenty foot waves on the Hudson, snorkel the ruins of Wall Street, and fish for porgies from my 11th story balcony had to be canceled. This was probably the most boring storm ever, but in the end it was perfectly alright.
