THANK YOU !!!

Hello everyone.  Hurricane Irma has said goodbye and I have only just had power restored.  I greatly appreciate everyone’s concern and hopefully I will get caught up on each of your sites within a decent period of time.  Poor Houston was hit far worse than we were.  Have a great day!!

WE WERE PREPARED !!!

    I was living in Sint Marteen when hurricane Irma hit.. it was my first hurricane and one that ended up being a cat 5. I can’t believe the resilience of those who make the islands and other parts of the world their homes with the threat of natural disasters.. it was an awful time trying to get off the island..

      You have something to relate to as we talk about the typhoons that hit the men in the Pacific – yet the still had to carry out their duties. Give you some respect for their stamina, eh?

        Of course, and for the people who live in areas that are often battered by natural disasters. It’s incredible what people can do or go through, their perserverence and strength is admirable.

    So happy you held up to Irma’s wrath! These storms have been so powerful and destructive. Irma made me postpone my trip back south…and I happily changed the plans. I decided to stay in my home many years ago for Wilma…and swore I would never do it again!
    Sending good thought of love and blessings to you 💜

      Thank you. You can tell Florida has been through it before, the only ones surprised by the strength of a hurricane are the newcomers. We were prepared and [believe it or not] our government was too.

    I’m finally going through my backlog of favorite site posts. I was down in Houston for several days piloting a crew doing photo assessments for FEMA. Between that and some other travel, I’ve been behind in following along with my blogging friends’ sites. I’m glad to hear things were not as bad as they could have been for you in Florida.

    I hadn’t realised you were in the area. Hope things will continue to improve (America’s having truly awful times with fires on one side of the country and hurricanes and floods on the other.)

      If only we could get all the water here to fall on the west coast fires, eh?! The rest of the world continues to have these disruptions as well with volcanoes and earthquakes, typhoons and sink holes. Mother Nature trying to get even for centuries of abuse to her planet?

    Sorry it took so long for many of you to get power. We had it when we returned from Atlanta. Take care.
