    Well it was a rough week. Putting up shutters at church, helping friends and neighbors with theirs, and finally mine. So I was burnt out when the storm finally came and went to the west coast sparing us on the east the full force. But due to the way a hurricane rotates, and to the enormous size of this category 4 monstrosity, we on the east coast were on the 'dirty edge' and experienced hurricane force winds and gusts for hours. Lost power at 4 in the afternoon and was dreading the 90-95 degree forecasted days coming up.

    The last two storms that were direct hits, 10 years ago, I was without power 10 days for the first and 12 days for the second. But by the grace of God when I awoke at 5am this morning I heard the refrigerator running ! It appears there is no significant damage so I'm happy to be in the land of the living and thanks for everyone's well wishes !
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
