With near the intensity of Hurrican Isabel in 2003, Hurricane Irene pummelled central Virginia on August 27, 2011 with high winds and heavy rainfall. Power outages were extensive in Central Virginia.

I have a series of photos and videos from the event. I hope to add them to this post in the coming weeks to document this weather event.

In the meantime, a video that I took from Church Hill is posted below from the event:
