My storm update

Very pleased to hear from you. in times like these I am incredibly thankful for ALL blessings no matter how small. Crazy storm ... But you came through it. Things WILL get better. I am glad to hear no MAJOR storm damage to your home.  Power will be back (hopefully soon.!!)

As far as members locations are concerned... It's hard to tell. You may be the farthest West. Fingers crossed for everyone who was adversely affected by Helene.!!

Keep us advised... I am not too far East of you, if you need a hand with anything...

That's so nice Hobs!! 

I do have a lot to be thankful for.

After sitting through hours of tropical force winds and watching the trees outside, hearing some of them fall.....I thought of people in Fla who go through hurricane force winds and storm surges...and just stay there for the next one.  Not for me.  I heard there was another tropical storm forming and was terrified. Fortunately now they say it will not hit the US.  I could not live in Fla.

I actually lived in Florida back when I wore a younger man's clothes. Gulf coast -- Englewood. I was constantly looking over my shoulder. Between storms and the "red tide" i had enough. i've been back, but I don't think I have the 'constitution' to live down there again.

I looked at the storm map. It looks like the storm hit your area pretty hard. SMH.. Pretty unusual for a hurricane to travel that far inland and retain that amount of force. Maybe it's just you, experiencing another "first".  You didn't have a "storm" of any kind on your bucket-list did you..??
