Although Irene was downgraded as a Tropical Storm, we got hit real hard. The damages to my town and neighboring towns was extensive. Two dozen homes were completely dragged into the ocean, not leaving a trace. Connecticut had much help from all over the country with the electric companies. Parking lots were jam packed with utility trucks from Michigan, Washington, Illinois... to name a few. We were without power until this weekend, some still without power. Here is our local paper article with some photos. http://www.nhregister.com/articles/2011/08/28/news/doc4e57da...

As far as a jump start for blooms, I totally agree. My plants bursted! Irene brought real nice whether afterward. Now it is just raining!
