Oregon Hill Recovers From Irene

For the most part, it looks like the neighborhood survived Irene intact, perhaps better than previous hurricane Isabel.

Canal/Cumberland Street at the 7-11 was blocked by a big tree this morning, but that should be cleared pretty quickly if it has not been already.

From what I can tell, there is only one or two blocks or so that are without power, 800 block of Riverside Parkway and the 600 block of S. Cherry/Laurel, and they are expected to be repaired this evening.

It was great to see neighbors out and about, checking on things and cleaning their sidewalks.

Please feel free to send more pictures and tales of survival to info@oregonhill.net

Scooter Stolen

From neighbor’s report:

My 49cc Yamaha Vino scooter was stolen from my backyard at 408 S. Laurel St. This happened sometime between Wed morning and 10 minutes ago. It was locked with a giant chain, gate locked, everything.

If you see it, please call 911. It’s all black with chrome handlebars and 2-3 white scratches on the right side below the seat.

Lock your stuff up!

Earthquakes, Hurricanes, Etc.

It’s been a crazy week, and I apologize for not posting more. As far as I know, no one in the neighborhood has reported any noticeable, significant damage from the recent earthquakes. There have been some downed tree branches and at least one downed power line, but some of that may be attributed to the thunderstorm that came through the area last night.

Now many neighbors are wondering what Hurricane Irene will bring– besides refugees from the southeast. Many neighbors remember all the trees knocked down by Hurricane Isabel in 2003. Anyway, please feel free to post some good Oregon Hill survival tips and stories in the comments section below. Hope folks have chain saws ready.
