Hi, folks - following up on gchaucer2's great idea, this diary series is a place for people who may have been at risk from Irene to check in and let us all know that you are okay.
Please recommend this diary, which will serve as a mothership. The daughter diaries will all be published by the Hurricane Irene group. Now that this diary has grown we have posted a daughter. The most current check-in diary will always be included in the list linked here. There may also be some informational diaries there but we will not check them for people checking in.
This diary is getting fairly full. If you are just checking in now for the first time, or just want to share, please drop a comment in the most current check-in diary, and we'll all be grateful together! If you leave a comment to check in, please include "Safe" in your subject line, or some other explicit subject. It will make it easier to sort out who's checking in - thanks! People who check-in in daughter diaries will be added to the list below at intervals.
If you're here to look for folks, a tip for handling large diaries: check the "shrink" option for comments. The subject lines and commenter's names will still be visible but the diary will be much faster.
Checked in so far
(
this list may not be complete, so don't panic if you don't see someone's name here)

Dear kogs - if you see your name in that list, consider yourself hugged and greeted! I will not be replying in the comments of the diary to save space for folks checking in.
Wee Mama
