Now that Hurricane Irene has passed and most areas seem to have avoided a potential catastrophe, we can look back at some of the best tweets over the course of the past couple of days. In no particular order.
1. @amNewYork: If you overstocked food in prep for #Irene, don't let it go to waste, donate it to the food bank! http://bit.ly/q6z1CC (@FoodBank4NYC)
2. @AndrewFreiden: How long is the food safe in my fridge without power? #irenehttp://www.fsis.usda.gov/factsheets/keeping_food_safe_during_an_emergency/index.asp
3. @towsendhagen: And now to eat 500 sandwiches and drink the 7 gallons of bottled water in the fridge. #panickedatthegrocery #irene
