Two Hurricanes headed my way

[Yorkiemom1]

Looks like this is going to be a "breezy" ordeal with a ton of rain for you. Praying you are not adversely affected by a lot of rain, rising water, etc....I saw lots of trees down and power lines....4000 people without power. Be safe.....staying here with you!

Sandy I am checking a lot to get updates on you and the pups. Praying hard for this storm to miss the islands . Keep calm if you can. I think the big island will be hit harder than Maui. You are beachfront and I bet it is beautiful. It is God's island , a taste of heaven, and I pray that the beauty will not be touched by this terrible evil storm. You have many friends surrounding you with the power of prayer.

Good Morning, all is well at my place so far. It is windy with occasional gusts up to 60 mph that only last a short time. The rain is off and on, and I think the worst of it has not hit. The storm became disorganized as it hit Big Island in trying to get over and around the tall 14,000 foot peaks.

I got lots of sleep, and am glad it wasn't crazy outside when it was dark and I couldn't see. There are some trees down and power outages in different areas but not at my place. Oh, and my water is turned off.... Not because of the storm, I had to turn off the main because a pipe sprung a leak behind my washer last night. Glad I found it, and need to find a plumber now (as if I didn't t have enough to worry about, huh).

So glad to hear from you and that you all seem to be safe!

Good grief, if it isn't one thing, it's two! No time like a double-hurricane to have a plumbing leak! You poor thing. How are the babies handling all the rain and wind? I hope they aren't scared but just hunkering down and sleeping like Tibbe mostly does when it rains and storms. Once in a while he'll bark at or get aroused by thunder but mostly he sleeps in.

Check in with us as frequently as you can and try to stay safe and sound. You all 4 are in our thoughts and prayers, Sandy.

TG you, your family, friends & your girls are ok! Glad it went as predicted, hitting the big island 1st, hope it's a gentle right from here on out.
My cousin is in Honolulu, was so worried for her, but as you can imagine, we're all so relieved. Her Mom, my aunt lives here in CA.

I sure hate to hear of anyone being in these awful, huge storms! If the wind doesn't cause problems, the storm surge does. So scary. Hope cousin stays safe.

Good to hear. So when do you get the sequel?

Prayers for calm weather and calmer seas! Glad you're all okay...

The Governor won't give all clear until late this afternoon, as there still is some threat. But I sure don't see it where I am, it's dry and no wind at the moment. Pups are even going potty outside, haha, it's that dry.

Electricity has been off briefly a few times, and I have friends on the other side of the island that have had no power since last night. I slept through my bedroom screen blowing off at some time last night. I'm going to walk around the neighborhood and see what else might have happened.

Always glad to hear that all is well. Thank goodness!!!

Did you get much sleep? How was it? How are things? Happy to see you posting.

Yep, I pretty much slept through a hurricane I guess. Actually it didn't hit Big Island until 2:30am and was so disorganized by the time it moved toward us, I didn't get much action here.

Other parts of Hawaii received 14 inches of rain, trees down, power out, so I was very lucky. Maybe my wonderful YT Prayer Warriors helped

I am very happy all is well and that you slept through most of it. Not sure how I missed your posts above (old age vision, lol).

14" of rain!! Trees are our biggest concern whenever we face a hurricane or tropical storm. After Hurricane Izzy, our neighborhood looked like a war zone.

Hopefully Julio will keep tracking north of you and leave the islands alone.

Yea! Glad you and pups got through it OK! (I still win)
