We didn’t evacuate nor did we write any identifying information on our arms with a permanent marker.
We lost power on and off over night and now no internet or TV.
We do have cell phone service which is a big plus over last Monday when everything was gone.
And thanks to our cell phone service, tornado alerts, hurricane alerts and flooding alerts kept our alerts alerting all night long.
Then about 4 a.m., the wind started.
That low road of a passing train that folks describe for a tornado but this didn’t last 10 or 20 minutes but hours.
It just roared and if anything got louder like when one of those jets from the Marine Base fly over head.
We got up about 4 a.m. to set things sideways on the floor of our balcony.
Kind of nutty thing to do at 4 a.m. but who wants a wooden rocking chair to be tossed through the front windows.
The next morning came and it was morning.
Still windy but blue sky and a lot of mess.
One of those days we are glad the night was over and also glad we lived in an apartment and didn’t have to get out there and rake.
Got to find a bright side.
