WELL WE MADE IT THROUGH THE HURRICANE, HOUSE AND ALL.
WE ONLY LOST A FRANGIE PANGIE TREE (HAWAIIN TREE) THAT GOT UPROOTED IN THE FRONT LAWN AND THE SHED IN THE BACK YARD. FOR THE FIRST TIME THROUGH ALL THE HURRICANES THAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH, I WAS AWAKE FOR THE WHOLE STORM. IT WASN'T FUN OR EXCITING.
IT WAS SCARY AND FRIGHTENING, KNOWING THAT AT ANY MOMENT WE COULD LOSE OUR ROOF AND BE WITHOUT A HOME.
WE LOST POWER AROUND 3 PM AND IT WENT ON UNTIL MIDNIGHT WHEN WE FINALLY WENT TO BED AND WERE ABLE TO GET SOME SLEEP. LUCKILY ZOEY SLEPT THROUGH MOST OF IT.
MY HUSBAND HAD SCRAP IN THE DRIVEWAY AND IN A TRAILER THAT WASN'T TIED DOWN AND NONE OF IT GOT BLOWN AWAY, NOT ONE PIECE!!! I PRAYED TO GOD ALL DAY AND NIGHT BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID THAT IT WOULD, AND NOT ONE METAL PIECE, MOVED!! WE HAD WIND GUSTS UP TO 80MPH AND THE FRONT DOOR WAS JARRING AND I DON'T KNOW HOW NONE OF THE METAL SCRAP GOT MOVED OR THROWN AROUND, BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD!! HE WAS WATCHING OVER US AND PROTECTING US!! THIS IS PROOF THAT GOD IS REAL!!! WE TRULY ARE BLESSED. WE TRULY ARE.
ALSO WITH THIS HURRICANE, WHERE WE LIVE, WE WERE RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE EYE OF THE STORM (THATS THE STRONGEST PART OF IT) WE RODE THE EYE OF THE STORM THROUGH THE WHOLE THING. ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE HURRICANE, AS IT KEPT MOVING EASTWARD, THE EYE WAS RIGHT THERE ON THE EDGE OF OUR COUNTY.
IF WE HAD GOTTEN THE EYE OF THE STORM IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE AS IT CAME ON SHORE AT ALMOST A CAT 5 STORM.
OUR ROOF HAS HELD UP FOR 5 HURRICANES NOW AND WE NEED TO HAVE IT REPLACED. ALSO THE MAIN ELECTRICAL WIRE THAT HAS BEEN SITTING ON OUR HOUSE FOR THE LAST 3 YRS WAS REPAIRED BY DUKE ENERGY WHEN THE RESTORED THE POWER WITHIN 3 DAYS. SOME GUYS WENT UP ON THE ROOF AND TIGHTENED IT AND GOT IT SO THAT IT WASN'T LAYING ON THE ROOF ANYMORE.
