I didn't lose power! Can you believe that? My son did in Wake Forest, but, only for 15 hours. Long enough and lots of flooding and trees down. It blew long and hard here, rained cats and dogs, and went the way of the north.
I love the little pumpkins, no power and you still are out there creating and doing your thing...you are such an overachiever! :) No, seriously you are pretty darn awesome. I have had a lot of hurricanes while living in Florida for a couple of years. The wind howling through the windows scared the bejesus out of me. Seemed like the whole house shook. Only then was I sorry I didn't evacuate.
Anyway, you did great and did little damage. What a relief! I like the part about options! :)
Have a great week ahead!
I thought about you, but wasn't sure if the storm would be coming that near you or not.
I'm on top of the hill, but we really didn't have that much over flooding in the area. Either way, I'm usually good on that since I moved here.
I was hoping for some great inspiration for some great art that I could say I painted during the storm with the power out..... but.... no such luck, so I just played with something fun. I guess I will need to finish it now. LOL
The wind was howling here too sometimes. Such an odd and haunting sound.
Yes!! That is the one I don't like. It is fine if your house isn't shaking too. :) This one doesn't shake but the shore house windows rattle a bit. Shake is the wrong word, but, yikes!
I don't like it.
True story! When Henry was brand new, I was out at the Shore with my youngest daughter. He was used to living out in the weather on the island, but, we were having a hurricane out there and he wanted to be with us. We went out to a small shed and made him come in with us and we slept outside in the hurricane with the shed doors closed and the baby sleeping next to us. He had pneumonia already and we were afraid he would die out there.
The things we do for our kids. Two-legged and four-legged.
Glad you are fine!
