Hurricane News! I just got off the phone with our Bettyeanne in Alabama. They are having the winds and buckets of rain from Ivan now and are all hunkered down at home. Her husband fixed a special place for them to go in an interior hall if there are more severe winds or tornados.....including a special place for little Toto. Toto knows "something's up" but is still content to nap and play pretty much as usual. So far, their electricity is still miraculously on, so she'll probably be in here in awhile...... She says it's really scary. |
Tell her I am thinking of her and keep me updated. I live in Georgia and we are having lots of rain and wind. |
Scary! Toto is much to brave for her little age! :) |
Sending good thought to Bettyeanne and Toto. You all are in my thoughts and prayers :) ..........Take care, Cindy Wend. evening I went with my mom and sister to eat super at Crackel Barrel and it was packed with people that had evacuated. Beaumont it about an hour from the Louisiana border. When we were leaving there was a little girl with a yorkie, it was so cute, they were from Louisiana. There wasn't one hotel room in town. The Civic center opened up for people, but dont' let dogs stay, so they were going to Houston to get a room to be able to stay with there Yorkie. They had been on the road for 17 hours because of the traffic. What we wouldn't do for our yorkies...........Cindy |
Thank you all so much for all your thoughts and prayers! It just seemed like a miracle that while over 800,000 people in our state lost their power ... ours never went off in our neighborhood!! We had two big limbs snap off a large pecan tree in our front yard and there are limbs and debri everywhere but ... the mighty oak still stands!! It was amazing to see the damage that monster made so far inland ... I can't imagine the destruction on the coast where it came ashore! Even watching it on TV and seeing the places in the panhandle that we were so familiar with, we could no longer recognize the landscape. I know that it will take a long, long time to rebuild! We, of course, haven't ventured out, but understand that some areas are pretty ugly! The power company is saying it could be a week or longer before service is restored in some areas. It was certainly good to talk to Mary Ellen and Don yesterday during all this mess! Mary Ellen ... sorry about that expletive that "jumped out of my mouth" when that lightening flashed at the tip of my nose!! :) That was the first we had seen throughout this entire nightmare and the thunder seemed to shake the ground! Fortunately there wasn't a lot of that. Our baby Toto was a brave little girl throughout the whole thing! Patrick was "storm ready" having spent the better part of two days trying to think of anything to have on hand that could help us through all that we feared could happen [even a little rain poncho for Toto!] She was a little "trouper" during the whole thing but seldom left our arms or laps ... most of the time snuggling, napping and closing her little eyes and hiding her face when she felt scared ... we were so thankful that we were able to keep an eye on everyone else by phone and didn't have to get out in all that to make sure they were all safe and sound! The best thing to do in these situations is to follow instructions and stay put! Again ... thank you all so much for your prayers ... please continue to pray for those up there in the mountains where the storm is still going on! It hasn't ended and looks like the flooding and mudslides will continue for a couple more days and it makes what we had here seem insignificant!! |
Has anyone out there heard from Stormchaser?? I believe they live down in Geneva, AL which is near the Alabama/Florida state line. Hope they are safe and dry! :) |
Haven't heard from Stormchaser.....hope all is well.... AND SUPER GLAD THAT ALL IS WELL IN THE SHADOW OF MT. CHEAHA (sp?)!!!! Now we can get back to the really important things like talking about our Yorkies! |
