After effects

By

 

The after effects of Irma.

Side yard:

Help!      They’ve fallen, and they can’t get up!!

slob, humor, flowers down

Poor flowers.

Front yard:

Devastation? None as far as the eye can see.

slob, humor, no damage

Not even enough damage to write home about!       Thank you God for sparing us!!

Inside was a whole different story tho!

Our front door blew off!!

 

Okay, so it was only a tiny little strip of door Veneer that blew off.      But that’s not dramatic!!

We did have a ceiling leak, tho!       For realz!!

See??

slob, humor, ceiling leak

Ceiling leak in living room.

Okay, yeah, it was only the black speckled part at the bottom.      The huge patch was from a previous leak.       But still, we had to use 2 whole towels to sop up the deluge!!

TWO!       Beach sized towels!

 

The little plant table on the porch got wet.

The porch doormat was soaked.

Waaaahhhh!          My feet got wet!!

(I’m making fun of myself: NOT people who had REAL damage!!)

Back yard:

Looks good, looks good, looks okay.

 

Just some twigs.

UH OH!!!!

That doesn’t look so good!!

 

Big limb down

This is the apt. right out our back door.         The neighbor hasn’t returned home yet, so not sure of the extent of the damage.           But from the ground, it doesn’t look like it went thru the roof.           I hope not!

Serious damage????         To be determined.

Pre Preps

By

Pre preps for imminent, irritation Irma are on going this weekend.  I’m writing this on my phone Sunday night, as my desktop apparently decided it was time to desert this earthly travail.    Argh!!          (update:   Monday it came back to life, after I gave it mouth to USB port resuscitation!)

Talk about frustration!   How am I supposed to blog about hurricane preps on my tiny little phone keyboard??   Vewwy vewwy cawefully!!

Anyway, I took pix, and since I’m on my phone, they should be easier to insert.    Let’s hope!!

Water is always a first essential.    Got it covered.

slob, humor, water stored in the tub

Fresh water- yay!

slob, humor, Water Bob

My new best friend!

TY PopPop!              That’s for drinking.

Second essential is potty. Got that covered:

(I was gonna take a pic of all the tp, but you know what it looks like!)

slob, humor, water for flushing

Flush water- sooooo important!!

Next is food.

Brownies!!         Then peach Coke- of course!           I think that’s all we need.       ( I have lots of other food, it’s just not that important!   lol)

Lights:

slob, humor, flashlight, lantern

Lights- check!

DD1 took babies out of state.  So I know they’re safe.   DD2 was already out of state, so all’s good there.

XH had to evac his mobile, so I demanded asked him over here.   After all, somebody’s got to piggyback my fat butt outta here if the flooding is too bad!   Plus he has a 4×4 truck!

slob, humor, me and XH

Us!     Partying like it’s Hurricane Charley!

(He certainly seems to be happy to be here, doing all the prep work, doesn’t he???)

PopPop is safe at his work.

Grandmama’s building IS a shelter.  So she’s all good.   She’s having a sleepover with friends, in the laundry room!

Sister’s house is Cat 4 rated, so her and kids are safe.   Bubba and Shirley have a sturdy block house, so they’re good.

Let’s see who did I forget??   Oh yeah, Rose was already overseas, so she’s good.   And neighbor Jeannette went to a safe place as well.

All’s well that ends well, for us.    God protected us!!  

Praying for the millions still without power, and that lost their homes.

And still praying for Texas, and Louisiana.

Thanks everybody for all the prayers for us!!

Imminent Irma

By

I’m writing this Sat. On my phone.

Irma is on her way to try to huff and puff and blow my house down.

Go away, big bad wolf!

As soon as I can, I will log back in and let ya know how it goes.

Hopefully, she will fall for the chimney trick, like the story wolf did!!

Dolly, I’ll be texting ya for a hurricane recipe!

Love y’all!

Having a hurricane party here. Brownies and peach Fanta, yeah!!

slob, humor, hurrican

Any hurricane, ever.

Update: All good!    We never lost power, but lots of others did.  Haven’t heard of any lost lives yet, except that teenage surfer, who went out surfing.   😦                                          We have a small living room leak, in a place they had previously patched.  (I think that part is funny!!)        Lots of big limbs down in backyard.

God did a miracle, turning Irma, and weakening it!!          Thank you, God!!
