I pray they're safe - they're doing a very dangerous job and I hope you hear from them soon !!!
it was HORRIBLE. Just horrible - ripping winds - HUGE gusts... then big crashes. The whistling and the moaning of the wind was something fierce - I had no idea what was going on around me because our power was out ....but we didn't sleep a wink all night...
This was my first time alone during a bad storm and never again..... The places I was susposed to go to still have no power ....I don't know how I got lucky and had it back this morning.
I tried to make it a game for my girls but they were so so scared.....We stayed in my hallway and I had a Yorkie HAT most of the night - one on each side of my head ...they couldn't get any closer.....
I did a 'walk around' outside about noon today - and OMG - TREES ARE UPROOTED INTO peoples Townhomes - there's a 30 foot branch blocking my front door and in general.... a huge huge mess.
on the upside - My new Carpenter skills really paid off I guess. The girls have their patio and right now are out there 'spying' on all the mess. LOL
thank God no one was killed around me (that I know of)
...I heard so far 4 people lost their lives. I'm praying all those who evacuated come home to their homes. This was one really bad bad hurricane - Houston was hit far harder than when Rita hit.
