GHOULIES moving towards the islands. (Page 59)

The center was about 45 miles north of here. I just thought it was a huge wind gust shaking the house. Though, it takes a lot to shake this house. The dog and the cats are still a little freaked out from it.

You guys ok?

Yah, everyone is fine. and some how, some way, we still have power, too (furiously knocking on wood).

Ann, it is way better to be prepared for the emergency and not need it, than to ignore all warnings and not be prepared.  Think of all who ignored the warnings about Katrina in New Orleans.  So, you have done everything that you should have done.  If it is all for naught, then everything you bought will all be put to good use in its time.

Stay safe.

That IS great news!  And the zipline sounds like a blast!

Morning ghoulies.

Our power went out last evening and is supposedly on schedule for sometime today. We are so low on the repair totem pole that I doubt that. However, we prepared pretty well when we re-did the house. We can cook, have hot water and have gas log heat. I twas pretty funny last night with all three cats vying for body heat!

Hang tough, Ann. It is like camping!

Thanks Dee. We are pretty used to no power. We have heat (in spots), water, we can cook and I have wine. Life is good! I just hope we don't lose much food in the freezer. I'll have to do some canning if that is the case!

That is good news.... I guess. As long as it doesn't get worse, you are ahead of the game.

If I had gone upside down on a zip line they would have had my corpse to deal with at the end!

Well hello there.

The power is back on at our house, it went off at the inlaws at 11:45. Grandma and Keri had just finished lunch, good thing they decided to eat early. Donnie was in town getting gas for the chain saw and called to tell us the pizza place was open so Caleb and I went there for lunch and to get out of the house for a little bit. They were running off of generators. 

No real damage here other than my sister in law last a large tree across the road down at her place. The power company was there to do what they needed to do, now my husband and his brothers are there sawing the rest of the tree up and getting it off the road. She lost another tree in her pasture that took out part of her fence. They are going to saw that one up, too.

The rest of the day is just going to be a lazy day. I didn't sleep the best last night.

Hah, I snuck out of the house and into town for a cup of coffee and a cup of internet.

Glad you got your power back and the damage all around was pretty light. Have you heard from Kim?
