HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I survived!!!!!
I'm on generator(at $15 a day which really sucks)they claim I'm looking at 6-8 weeks MINUMUM without power.I may STILL be without power come THANKSGIVEING.We lost 6 whole
trees...parts of others we still have a cedar to cut thats leaning towards house.the branches on one side of it are blown up and broke& twisted.We are currently looking for a new 14 in chain for it(polar).had branches all over the yard.the
tree that snapped by boat missed the boat,but leaft a scratch.the shed at that end end of yard shifted about 2 feet,but othrwie it stayed.the 5th wheel was fine and been cooking in it on prppane...least till the propane runs out cause ya ain't buying none in a 60 mile radiuos(((if JV hear of some in Lufkin...please hollar@ my mom and she'll call me.)))I know getting low...but am conserveing more now....i figured out I can run 2 pots of water in cofee maker for hot dishwater.Those food boxes with 3 meals I learned cvan set the cans in the sun for an hour and are hot to heat....TX-o-wave(LMAO)By day 4 I really wanted out of here bad.i was SICK of plugging-unplugging extension cords,but we now have the whole house hooked up to generator so life is almost normal....just no 220.
most my garden stuff got flattened,some leans.Brugs were fine...getting buds now(some of those blew off,but thats finethey are back
)Totally lost some zinnas(well see them next
spring all over the yard sprouting I imagine)of my 73
plant evacs.....one potos ivy got snapped and is rooting as we speak& my yellow crown of throns has a new direction of growth....sideways& is blooming.
hubby dragged
tree limbs fromm yard....and dragged up phone line.but we ran our tempoary line being SBC said Oct 11th.now they just need to run me another land line and bury it at their convience.we got i know 7 inches of rain.rain gage goes that far.Fire chief said we had some gusts of 145 MPH& it really looks it.it looked like the
trees were dusting the skys.I'm gonna send weezie some video.the earlier shot ones don't show anything...but ya can hear the wind.all hell broke loose about 5 something...the wind was howling& the floor of the house was shakeing(its built on 4x4 post 4 feet in concrete...we will have bottom closed in by next hurricane season....and more extension cords)
