Hiya Sweetie,
Had a good night sleep, then started on laundry and some more deep cleaning. Still very cloudy and we had a few more showers today, but I think tonight it's finally working its way out of the area. This storm has been very slow moving, and the devastation is hard to imagine. They had over two feet of rain in a lot of mountainous areas, which means the flash flooding has been horrific. So many homes, farms and business completely destroyed, countless livestock, including horses have died, and so far 64 deaths of people are confirmed, with hundreds still missing. Two million people are still without power. We got off easy here, thank goodness. I saw pictures of McCulley Farms, and they've been flattened. Whereas last year's hurricane took off the roofs of some of the buildings, this year's took most of the buildings. At my friend Sheila's house in Live Oak, where I helped out cleaning up after the hurricane last year, they had a big old tree land on the roof of the house, though I'm not sure it is went all the way through into the house or not. What a mess all over! Going to take a long time to recover. I-40 and I-26 both have long sections that are closed because of landslides and collapsed bridges. Linda said she even saw a news report where ducks were drowning, caught up the flotsam of bridges and unable to escape! Very bad storm. Apparently there was another hurricane in 1958 named Helene that was also a Cat 4 that did a lot of damage. You'd think they would retire names of hurricanes when that happens, wouldn't you? On a happier note, Lola is definitely feeling and moving a lot better, playing with Ivy and running after the side-by-side when Linda and I drove across the field to help her husband Richard with a gate that was stuck. I did some more work on the kitchen cupboards, so I'm still making progress. Not much else to do on a cloudy, wet day, figured it's worthwhile to do more deep cleaning. Finally settled down for my usual evening. Love you, babe! Good night!
