YIPPEE...WE GOT POWER!!
We were starting to go a little stir crazy from boredom(Cindy you were right "family bonding" is only good for a day or two
) I mean you can only play games for so long and its hard to play after dark when you have no lights!
All the extra hummers have left to go back to wherever they came from. I'm glad they evacuated here cause they were an amazing sight!
Our home is intact but our neighbors were not so lucky...one of them had a full size pine
tree rip out of the ground and literally split their home in half(I heard it happen and ran over in the pouring rain,barefoot,to help get them out) They were not injured but their home is history. The pine
tree also ripped the water lines out of the ground(thats why we lost water Sunday and Monday). Another neighbor had a branch go straight through their roof and end up in their living room(We helped them cut it up and patch the roof temporarily). Stupid me,I kept going out in the rain to help people and now I've got a stuffy head and sore throat.
We are still getting bands of rain but are starting to see patches of blue sky. Will be VERY glad when all the rain stops!
All of my
lillies are flattened but I think they will pop back up when it dries out some. My
roses lost alot of their branches but I figure they needed pruning anyway. My 4 o'clocks are on the ground so I'm gonna stake them and see what happens. My banana
tree lost most of its leaves. The last of my veggies are lost(I still had tomatos,bell
peppers and green beans
growing). Only one of my birdhouses was lost,thank goodness it was the one without any birds in it. Overall my yard isn't in too bad of shape. I'm going to go around with the duct tape and some stakes and repair what I can.
I'm so glad this whole mess is over with.
Thanks for all of your prayers and good wishes(for all we know that might be why there is absolutely no damage to our home
