The Aftermath



Well we survived the storm.  I sat in front of the TV for as long as the power stayed on, and I watched as land flooded with water on the TV.  When the power finally went off here, I went to bed, sort of.  The wind was so strong, it felt like it was going to blow the roof off or blow a tree through a window.  The only room in our house without windows is a small bathroom, so rather than sleep in there, I slept in our closet.  I dragged, John, the dog and the cat into the closet where we were hot, but we were safe.  
We had some damage to our awning of our patio.  The roof couldn’t survive all that wind, so it just took it off.  Here is one view of the damage.  We also had some damage to our fence, but then again who didn’t have damage to their fence.  
The next night we stayed in our powerless house, where we tossed and turned on sticky sheets.  I couldn’t sleep with it being so hot, so I went and laid on the tile, where the floor was cool.  Now I know how the dog feels.  = )
