PHOTOS: Irene, the Aftermath

Hurricane was perhaps one of Hopatcong's worst natural disasters.

Early Sunday night the winds calmed, rain slowed and Hopatcong began settling back into its quiet.

Except things were different. Thick, heavy trees were strewn across roads. Streets were flooded. More than 1,000 homes were without electricity.

As the coming days fade into nights and Irene becomes a memory, how will it be remembered? By the photos and the memories of the destruction it left behind.
