Severe Weather Check-in!

I heard from Clay. They are okay. It was a scary night. There is some damage to the perimeter of their property but their house is okay. Power went out last night and remains out.

This has been the longest week of my life! I survived a Cat 3 hurricane. My bestie gave me the merit badge..lol

Long night, hardly slept, sideways winds and gusting 100 mph winds. The house I evacuated to is good. I got word some homes took at hit in my neighborhood. I had to wait for the ok to drive. There were down power lines and trees. So when I got to leave, I saw all of that and more. My home seems fine, still no power.

I'm staying at the evac house for now. I'm also pet sitting. Thank goodness the power came on over here !

Thank you to all who kept with me last night.


I have to go empty the bathtub now😉

I have power!

I stopped by my house to put ice in the ice chest and found a couple of lights on!!


Not sure how cold my freezer stayed. That's a job for tomorrow.

I left evac house just in time for some river and creek flooding started. So I'm home, going to sleep in my own bed tonight .

We get daily occurences from Florida and it seems to only get worse daily. It is a shame so many people have lost everything they own but at least there are not that many lives taken although one is one too many. We cannot control mother nature but endurance is the answer. Terrible scenes of every part of business and homes just flattened. We can only pray that those who are ok remain as such.

We FINALLY got power back, after 15hrs, and internet back last evening!

THANK YOU to all my friends here who kept in touch with us, and easy for posting for us!

Our area was hit really hard, and our home is unscathed, BUT an adjoining neighborhood, not part of us, had a HUGE maple tree that fell into our yard, taking out our privacy fence in 3 places, and one of our palms sheared off and broke a section of the privacy fence that blocks the preserve behind us.

Neighbors came out n force to help my sons & Chris rake up a quarter acre of yard debris.

THE worst part is lying in total darkness while 110mph winds & gusts happen, torrential rains,we got 10". The howling eerie sounds of those winds terrified me. I was so scared. Wife & I just held onto one another.

NOW, there is 3 invests out there, 1 of which formed exactly how/where Helene & Milton did. Will know in about 9 days if is a threat to us again!

We are truly blessed as it hit this area really hard!

Clay, I'm so glad your home. Now it's the next steps. I'll never forget the sound of those winds and the pounding rain. We have earned our Cat 3 Merit badge for sure!

I was without power at my house for 44 hours. My refrigerator was a mess. My ice maker stopped and caused what ice I had to flood the shelves inside. Ok, I'll take that because I still have my roof!

Today I drove outside of my little neighborhood, the things I saw 😓

I'm glad all of us are ok.

I’m bumping this thread today for folks living in states lining the eastern coast of the US or even folks who live on the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricane season — last we knew from NOAA before current admin of the US dismantled the weather agency — foretold a very dangerous season ahead for hurricane strikeS, tornadoes and other hazardous weather events (fires).

Please know that we care about your safety going forward. If you are experiencing hazardous weather, please check in here so we know your status and if you’re safe or not.

May peace and safety be yours during these highly tumultuous times.
