Reader Photos: Irene Nails Hopatcong

Hurricane brings strong winds, heavy rain. Trees snap. Roads flood.

Did Hurricane Irene disappoint? You be the judge.

Here's a collection of user-submitted photos and pictures Hopatcong Patch editor Brendan Kuty took with his iPhone 4 early Sunday morning. They tell the story of a storm that knocked out power for at least 2,500 Hopatcong residents, Jersey Central Power & Light said, and closed roads and downed trees.
