Guilt, I woke up and thought this was a joke of a storm. After the day went by and I realized what other states have went through and how many lost their lives I felt ashamed. Yes we were very lucky here but some were not lucky. So after all is done I felt guilty for how I felt.
Yes - Physical.........my nerves were shot. I am so sorry I kept watching WBOC local news all day long. They had me scared to death. They kept saying the worst was yet to come.
no. but i will ask this question. many are saying that "irene" was hyped. of course this is possible but for those who "believe" in prayer; have you considered that God answered our prayers? in my prayers and the prayers of our family and friends we asked God to calm or deminish the storm. we believe he hears the prayers of his people. we are just thanking God for doing what we asked.
i know there are "skeptics", naysayers and mockers on this blog, but i will continue to believe.
always plan for the worst and believe for the best......
Amen to 11:32 ; just be thankful it wasn't as bad as it could have been. The media has to prepare us for the worst, and they did keep saying to hope for the best. b
No property damage I am very thankful to say. Just nerves shot from not being able to watch T.V., mother couldn't watch the Orioles games straight through because the cable kept coming and going, mostly going, we didn't see any news, and I couldn't check Salisbury News Blog. :( I don't have a Smart Phone. I do need to invest in a portable radio and batteries (when they are restocked again). :)
Lots and Lots of water. We escaped another major storm , perhaps upplayed by the media. Most people were prepared and it just worked out in everyones favor. But ONE of these times, we are going to get a major a## whooping!!
Lost power for the longest stretch in the over 20 years we've lived here. Just a few hours, overnight and into mid-morning. Pump lost prime, so we were without water for Sunday and part of Monday. No DAMAGE, though.
Just a small apple tree uprooted that I can straighten with a tow rope and my truck. The basement was flooded but was pumped out in a day. Humidifier is pumping hard now. Considering all the huge oaks and pines I have, my prayers were answered. My home was unscathed. Even my outsunshades have not budged. Amen! My god is great.
I had three big limbs break and fall from big Maple trees. One fell on my 6ft.fence and damage a section of it. Another tree uprooted from my neighbors yard and partially fell into mine. Small brances, lots of pine cones. Got to have at least one of the big Maples cut down.
well, now i do have to rake my lard again.
ReplyDeleteYes! My back from sleeping on an air mattress in the hallway.
ReplyDeletevery minor
ReplyDeletea few shingles
