Päiväkirja - mskestrela, 12 syys 17

Hi, gang! I'm back after the big blow. I have to say, it's a whole lot less scary going through a 'strong tropical storm" in the daylight hours than it is going through a Cat. 1 hurricane overnight! There were still some pretty tense moments, I'll tell you, but there was no damage to my house, no trees fell in the neighborhood, and although the lights flickered a few times, and went out completely for a second or two twice, my electrical service held up, as did my internet. Woohoo! My yard is a lake, though. No complaints, as that is the worst of nearly 18 hours of howling wind and torrential rain. I think we got over 8 inches of rain.
Tension has a way of making me lose my apetite, so although I tried to eat, it was a no go. Once the worst of the storm was past, I guess I relaxed because I fell asleep at my desk. Woke up to calm skies around 8:30 PM, and toddled off to bed.
I planned on going to work today, but found out that the boss had closed the shop until tomorrow. I already had to reschedule my clients on Saturday, and some of them were supposed to come in today. Oh, well...we all went through it together, so there is understanding.
I ventured into my tiny town, and the cops had the main road blocked off, right in front of Town Hall. Holy moly! There was an old oak tree down right beside the Hall, and it had to be a good 36" in diameter at the base. It snagged some power lines on the way down, so a repair crew was working on that.
I purposely didn't get any fresh veggies on my last shopping trip, because I didn't want them to spoil in the fridge if power was down for days. So I went to the grocery store, and saw a lot of empty shelves. No bread, no milk, very few veggies. I managed to get some celery, lettuce and 4 sad little tomatoes. I've been craving veggies!
Dinner tonight will be homemade hot wings, with celery and ranch dip.
Wishing you all a wonderful rest of the week!

So glad you are safe. Nearly all my FLorida friends evacuated, and I know my friends in Jacksonville are A-OK. Even my Naples friends have gone back home today and their house is fine. Stay safe...

Thanks, HM! My sister in Orlando, as well as several cousins around FL are fine, too. Sis had only a few oak branches down in the front yard, and a swimming pool full of leaves. LOL! The pool has a screened enclosure, but someone told her that if they took the doors off the enclosure, it wouldn't get damaged by the wind. So they did. True, there was no damage to the enclosure, but now they get to scoop out a couple of garbage bags worth of foliage.

Yeah but scooping leaves is probably cheaper!

So so glad everyone is ok!!!!

Glad to hear you made it through ok. That's some scary stuff happening down there! I have a friend who lives in Venice and she packed up herself, husband and their two dogs and drove here to Kansas (she's from here) to ride out the storm.

Wow, so many Floridian's. I'm doing my Summer in New York. My home in Central Florida just lost the lamppost and thankfully it was ugly. It's only 1/2 gone. The top. And a ton of twigs. Hope everybody gets power back and is able to tolerate the upcoming weeks. My biggest hope is that none of our FS family has lost or faced significant damage to their home. Diet aside, stay strong and carry on.

Thank God you are safe. I can't imagine what 8" of rain is like. I think the worst I have ever seen was 5" over 24 hours. Wind I understand b/c we have blizzards here in New England. So much devastation.

So glad you are OK, Kes. That's a lot of water certainly but at least it didn't get in your home. Hopefully the shops will get more supplies in quickly and you'll be able to get some fresh veggies. Have a good day at work today.
