Henri blew by us safely. The storm brought the river up to almost overflowing again and there were some flickering lights but that was about it. Prayers for the people of Louisiana as Ida looks to be a bad one.

Well one fire map says one thing this one says another, it's tough to know what to believe. All I know is we've been having some really poor air quality. Today it was better though so let's hope they've got things under control and the worst is over. It's 7PM and about 84 degrees out now

August 29, 2005 and now August 29, 2021. 16 years to the day. First, Katrina and now, Ida. There's got to be something to say about that but I really don't know what it is. I hope our LA and MS members and family are able to get through this storm safely.

Good thoughts sent to the people of LA and MS. Can't begin to imagine your misery. Hope the utilities go back in service long before they are guestimating. May it happen as South FL did after Hurricane Andrew. We had utilities back up within 2-3 days. May that be similar for you!
Those who believe in a deity, please send them blessings, spellwork, and prayers. |

I live in Central Florida. Through my own stupidity, plus a quirk in my personal equipment, I am one of the early victims of hurricane Milton.
I spent hours on Monday getting ready for the storm. I had all my big potted plants in the garage. l was on my last task and I needed scissors, which were on the table behind me. Ok, I'm going to insert a bit of information. I've mentioned this in other threads, but not recently. I am a dinosaur, part of a dying breed. I had polio when I was a kid and now,many years later, I use a three wheel scooter for mobility. So I'm baking up without looking behind me, which is where the stupidity comes in. The quirk is that when backing up, if my scooter encounters a barrier, rather than stopping it tries to climb over what ever is in it's way. The result is my scooter starts to tip over. Mostly I can react quickly enough by switching from reverse to forward and stop it from going over. I was not successful this time and the scooter just rolled right over, dumping me knees first onto the concrete garage floor. OUCH! I thought right away it was broken. I dug my purse out from under me, called, 911, the fire department showed up and took me to the emergency room. Yep it was broken. Not a bad break. The corner of the bone is cracked at the joint. After hours of consultation they decided I don't need surgery or a cast. They ordered a knee brace for me to hold the joint still so it can heal. Later a valiant gentleman brought it directly to the hospital even though his company had already closed in advance of Milton. He was so nice and I was so excited to be able to go home. Bad news the brace was way too long for my leg, so they have to order another one. And remember I said they were closed? So no brace till after Milton departs. But again Mr Valiant jumped in. He placed the order himself to save time rather than wait for the hospital staff to do it. So there is a small hope that it will be here Friday. Meanwhile I am stuck in the hospital where they won't let me get out of bed. There is no worse torture for me than to have to sit still. There is some good news. Quite a bit actually. I am in a hospital which multiple people have assured me is the safest place in s hurricane. I will not be alone during the storm. The food is pretty good here and I will not have to cook. They have huge generators so the lights will not go out. I am not in a lot of pain, except for the torture of having to sit in this bed for days. There will be people with much larger problems than mine. I know what happened to me is pretty insignificant. Thanks for listening. Smooches, Keri I'm posting from my phone and can't manage changing the font and color, but it's me |
