Our power is out! We survived the hurricane without any damage to our home. Here are a few images of damage around us as we search for a warm cup of coffee.
Access to internet will be intermittent. I hope everyone is safe. Sending good vibes.
Rock Me Like a Hurricane
I am glad you are safe and your house is not damaged. I am sending positive energy and lots of good wishes, so that you will stay safe further.
Thank you so much for your kind wishes! I really appreciate that so much. The power just came on today, so things are getting back to normal. I hope you are having a wonderful day!
A jug well spritzed of ammonia keeps stank water-log stanks at Bay. Water it down as ammonia is otherwise ….breath-taking…. And as a watered down product it is less likely to brown the grass and yet ultimately be a mild nourish to the world.
Thank you for the great tip! Power is restored and things are slowly being put in order. Hope you are having a good day 😉
I’m glad your house survived. Hopefully the power will return soon, and all the water recede with minimal damage.
Thank you so much Joe! We had our power restored today and things are starting to get back into order with minimal damage. I hope you are doing well and having a good day.
Glad to know you and your home are safe.
Thank you so much Mark! I hope you are having a good week.
I’m glad you’re safe.
Thank you so much Cindy. I hope you are well and having a good day.
Glad your home is OK. Stay safe. Allan
Thank you so much Allan! I hope you are doing well and having a good week. We just got our power back today and things are starting to get back to normal here!
Glad you are safe & managed with no damage. Dorian was a royal pain the ass. Like Lambchop. It’s the storm that never ends. It goes on & on, my friend. Tune is playing in my head. 🎶😉 can you believe this storm formed on August 23?
You are right about the PIA aspect of Dorian!!! Thank you so much for your kind thoughts. oh that song! I think it will be in my brain for the better part of the afternoon LOL I hope you are having a great week so far.
Having a pretty good week. Working when I’d rather be home writing & having fun. 🤪
That song will be in my head until November. Hehe! 🤪
I’m glad you and your home are safe. Hope this condition will be better soon. Take care of yourself well 😊❤
Thank you so much for your kind words Luna. We just got power back, so things are looking up! I hope you are well.
Glad you guys are safe! Our power is back on if you need an escape/charge. 🙂
This means so much coming from you lovely people! The power just cam back on now! Now to play catch up! LOL Hope you are all well. Sending love.
Thank the gods for high ground, mate! Glad you’re okay.
And thank you for your kind comment 😉 The power just came back on so things are looking up 😉 I hope you are having a good week.
Great that you and yours are all right! I hope power is restored soon. While it’s out, make a list of supplies you would want in case of another outage and plan accordingly.
I live in a region that has at least two major power outages a year. Having a solar lamp, crank radio, and subzero sleeping bag takes away some of the panic in the winter.
Thank you for your kind thoughts and wishes! I have started doing just that and we are going to create a nice little emergency kit. We have not had power outages for years, but after this I have learned we can be better prepared, and I imagine there will only be more in the future. I hope you are having a good week.
Sending my thoughts and prayers for your continued safety xoxo
Thank you so much for that Taylor. Your kindness is very much appreciated. We had our power restored today, so things are looking up 😉 I hope you are well.
Glad you stayed safe. Best of luck and best wishes for all.
Thank you so much Mitchel! Our power came back on today. I hope you are well and having a good week.
So glad you are okay. Please keep us updated as you are able.
*hugs*
Thank you so much for your kidn caring words. The power was just restored today and that makes me feel a whole lot better! I hope you have been having a better start to your week than I did 😉 haha
I am glad you are safe. ❤️
Thank you so much Laurie! I hope you are well and having a great week!
I’m glad your all OK! Hurricanes suck…
Thank you so much John. They do indeed. We just got our power back today. I hope you are having a good week!
Yay for electricity, we tend to take it for granted, but when it’s gone our lives are disrupted.
Glad you’re safe…take care.
Thank you! I hope your week is off to a great start. We finally had the power restored today!
You had me at the Scorpions reference! 🤘Take care.
haha! When the hurricane was going we had a little bit on how long it would take for a radio station to play that song. It did not take long 😉 Hope you are well!
There was a hurricane?? 😉
Also– wise decision. Turn around. Don’t drown. Hope you’re back up and powered on asap.
haha! The power just came back on today. Learned a lot from the experience and are compiling a more substantial emergency kit 😉 Hope you and Missy and Rocky are well 😉
Bon courage à vous.
Merci beaucoup!
Glad you’re safe!!
Thank you so much Nova! We got the power back today, so I feel a lot better! I hope you are well and having a good week so far.
Glad u made it through- looks like Nova Scotia had almost as much “fun” as North Carolina! 😳
Thanks! As much as I can appreciate the intensity of a good storm, just getting power back today was not so fun 😉 LOL I hope you are well and safe. Are you in NC? Were you impacted too?
No – luckily we r far inland in northwestern Virginia (almost West Virginia). We had some clouds and a pleasant breeze when Dorian passed by. I was on the Outer banks a couple years ago when Hermine blew through- it was a tropical storm and it was a wild end to our vacay. I would not want to have been there during Dorian!
I am glad to hear you were out of the path of this one!
So glad you’re safe. What an experience it must have been!
Thank you so much Don! It was pretty intense, but the power came back on today, so things are slowly getting back to normal. Hope you are well.
We also got no damage. So grateful you are ok. What a blessing. Love Joni
I am happy to hear you guys were okay too and got no damage. You are correct we are all so blessed to be safe! I hope you are well and having a good week.
I am thank you so much. Blessing Love ❤️ Joni.
glad to know your piece of this world is safe…
Thank you so much! I hope you are having a good week so far!
Glad you are safe. Hope your power is restored soon.
Thank you so much! The power just came back on today! Very grateful for that, and your comment. I hope you are having a good week!
I am glad to know you are safe! I lived through many hurricanes while living in FL, thus one of the reasons I live in northwest GA. Wow! Dorian was a real hellion!
Thank you so much Eugenia! The power was just restored today. Dorian has been the subject of a number of choice adjectives in these parts 😉
Most likely adjectives one wouldn’t normally use. 🤬
Btw, your title reminds me of the song by the Scorpions – “Rock You Like A Hurricane”.
I am glad you got that reference! I *might* have been singing that as the storm was first starting 😉
It’s good to know you are safe. I hope things improve for you.
Thank you so much! The power is back on today and things are now much improved. I appreciate your kind thoughts and hope you are having a great day!
You’re welcome. I’m glad things have been improving. Thanks!
I’m glad you’re safe and all is well with your house 😊
Thank you so much Alexis. I hope you are having a good week.
So glad you’re safe!
Thank you so much. I hope you are well 😉
Thanks for liking one of my “books I own” posts today. Love your pottery, especially the vases. I’ve added a link in my list to your site so I can come back and explore more sometime. What hurricane was this? Was it Dorian?
Thank you for your kind comment David! I have just followed your site on wordpress so I can explore your site more. It was Hurricane Dorian that caused so much chaos here. I hope you are well and having a great start to your day.
Nice
Oh man.. I lived in Florida and remember all too well the changes a hurricane can bring. Some people feel God punishes bad people by using disasters such as this. But that’s just not the case. It affects all walks of life. James 1:13 tells us God does not cause such atrocities. It’s just the system in which we live.
Thanks for sharing. For me, God is all about love. I don’t blame him for a thing Unfortunately suffering is a part of life. The positive side of this is that challenges and adversity helps us grow as people and in our spirituality. I hope you are having a great week so far.
That is good. Suffering is definitely not a part of the original plan for mankind. Soon it will be done away with. Revelation 21:3–4 ♡
