Hurricane update:
Well we decided that the news made this seem A LOT bigger then it was. It is like El Nino with the Santana Winds put together. That gives all my California family & friends a type of perceptive. The problem that could be the worst is the flooding. So this is what happened.
Friday Evening:
Rain began and didn’t stop, it varied from sprinkles to hard.
Saturday Morning:
Rain continues, winds pick up to the 50 mph.

Saturday Afternoon: Rain Stops for a while, wind is still strong but, you are able to go out. Two guys fishing in the pond.
Saturday Night:
WIND WIND WIND! It was hard and nonstop. I do not like wind so that was something I had a hard time with. This also caused the electricity to go out at 10:30ish. We put on the candles and just hung out.
That night at 2 am some MORONS were in the pool, drunk and making so much loud noise. I really couldn’t sleep.
Sunday Morning: Church was canceled (due to them not knowing what the damages might be, and if even the building had power).
We slept till about noon. Made breakfast on the grill, hash browns with eggs and turkey bacon; didn’t want the food to go bad.
Sunday Evening:
Electricity is back on! YEAH!!!! Sammie got a bath, smells good. All is well.
What did I learn…
1) The National News makes things so much bigger than it really is, and only talks about the worse things.
2) This complex we live in was by divine inspiration. Not only is it built to with stand strong hurricane winds, but we live on the top floor, so flooding would not hit us.
3) Trust in your preparation. The Lord has told us to be prepared for these types of things. To have a food storage and such. Well Jeff and I now have lots of water and can food. Our supplies are totally built up for the next hurricane.
Thank you to everyone for the calls, text messages, emails, facebooks, etc. I am so grateful for your love, concern and prayers. We love you all and am so grateful to have people that care about us so much. Love you.
I told you it wasn't going to be bad. You don't need to worry unless it's a direct hit with a category 3,4, or 5. The news wants news...they make everthing dramatic.
ReplyDeleteFlooding and trees coming down are typically the worst with a hurricane unless it comes directly on land then you might get some tornadoes. No worries!
Glad to hear! Love the pics of the condos-they look so beautiful! What a great place! Hopefully no more scary weather. We had some insane lightning in Sandy! Must talk soon!
