Don’t Call It A Comeback, I’ve Been Here For Months
Hank and I survived the hurricane

Hurricane Idalia is over.
A day or two before the storm hit, the predicted path had shifted to the east of us quite a bit, so I wasn’t too concerned. I still made my preparations — filling water containers and filling the tub, etc., but I expected this to be unnecessary.
The storm was set to hit early on Wednesday, and when I checked the tracker that morning, the hurricane’s path had not only shifted back in our direction but it was also expected to make landfall as a Category 4 hurricane! Scary!
As it turned out, the storm hit as a Category 3 and quickly weakened to a Category 2. There were some scary moments, but it wasn’t too bad overall. It was actually quite fun. My husband and I, along with our pets, hung out on the front porch and watched the action unfold.
The only bad thing was the power outage. Our power went out at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday and came back on at around 3 a.m. this morning. It certainly could have been worse, and we were expecting it to be way worse. When we saw our mail lady yesterday, she told us the Sheriff’s Department had released a statement saying that most areas would not have power for 7–14 days! Thank the gods they were wrong!

Anyway, I’m back after a very short hurricane break, and I’m ready to get caught up on everyone’s stories.
I already had my shower!
