Another Irene story

In response to your piece on your son’s cat “Jasper”.  My name is Suzanne Dixon from Kilcullen, daughter of Jimmy and Bridget Dixon.

My husband and I are in Washington, DC.  We are still feeling the brunt of Hurricane Irene, with tens of thousands without power and many others battling fallen trees and pouring rain.

The hurricane has dumped at least a foot of rain on us and is being blamed for at least six deaths. Hurricane Irene is still bringing wind gusts over 60 mph.  We still have power, a good thing!
