This means I will not be in the dark when the apocalypse, umm Hurricane comes. We will get high winds about 8 pm Wed evening and the eye will be over us 3 am Thursday morning
ALL IN THE DARK...
we have been through 9 hurricanes in 40 years and one has NEVER come in daylight hours.
If it thinks it might get here in daylight, it stops and sits in the gulf and gathers itself faster and faster to take aim AFTER DARK
Thank you to the many of you who offered us space to come and stay, and for all the messages, texts, and calls offering help.
Bob's niece and nephew, children of his oldest sister offered to charge a hotel for us to stay in
but they wanted us to go south to Venice, which is going to be hit harder than we are.
There is no where to go, or we would have gone...
we are in zone E and we are not in evacuation zone. My neighbor told me today he checked the maps and it said for water to go over us it would have to be 33 feet, we may become and island and not be able to get out for a while or we may have a tree on the house or be minus a roof, but he told me to not fret about not being able to climb on a roof..
I ask him to promise me, the first thing he will do after the storm is come outside and look to see if a tree is on my house and come see if I am dead or alive, because one of my worst fears is a tree falling on me and NOT killing me, but trapping me there for 20 hours and no way for anyone to find me.
He laughed and said, you sound like my wife. (he did not offer me to come and stay where there are no trees, because it is the house of 7 cars, with 6 adults and an 18 month old baby and 3 dogs) I would have said no. ha ha
Bye for Now and We will see you on the other side and I hope that means after the storm and not in heaven.
I am trying to be funny, but I do not feel funny.
I feel really terrified waiting for D-Day tomorrow
If you are on Facebook, watch for a post from Amanda McCall, I will text her if I can and she will tag my page with and update, she is one of my family in Augusta that was hit by Helen a few days ago and was without power for 7 days, plus no cellphone service because
the cell towers went down
if you hear nothing you will when we can.
I hope you don't see me on the news trying to climb from the roof into a row boat, because I am also afraid of water and boats...not just the dark
