Looks like we are about to get clobbered, and may end up literally “under the weather” for the next few days. Hopefully we won’t sustain any major damage, but power outages are VERY likely. Will get back to you with an update as soon as Hurricane Helene bids us adieu! For those of you who are also in this storm’s pathway, I’m sending you my best wishes! May Helene be on her way very soon, and leave nothing too terrible behind.
Will touch base again, as soon as possible.

It’s all good, Nancy. And we have sunny skies this morning! Guess everything blew over … literally … during the night. Thanks for the well wishes! ❤️😊

We seem to have weathered the storm just fine, Debra. Haven’t checked other parts of the state yet, but the sun is out here, and only a gentle breeze is blowing. 😊❤️

Marcia, I do hope there are not too many trees near you. The picture is good but I wouldn’t love to be there. Too dramatic. Have you all prepared well ? I send you my best wishes for safety and courage.

Storms brought down all our big oaks over the years, Delphini, so that wasn’t a problem this time around. And apparently, this one blew over through the night with no real damage left behind at all. Not even any noticeable debris in our yard. We lucked out, for sure! ❤️😊

We came through fine, as far as I can tell by looking out all the windows. Haven’t gone outside yet, but I don’t even see any debris scattered around. Whew! Always a relief when the storm is over and we’re still standing! ❤️😊

Thank you for the well wishes, Bonnie. As far as I can tell from looking out the windows, we came through fine. (Guess I should get dressed and actually go outside to check things out, but not done with my cuppa tea yet. 😊❤️)

That’s the down side of living in Florida, Yvette: Hurricane Season!! But so far, we’ve been lucky in that regard. We did have a rather large tree fall on our house once, but it wasn’t caused by a storm of any kind. It just fell over one day! Urk!! But over time, all of the larger trees in our yard twenty years ago have come down, and there’s no real threat from the smaller ones. (I miss the shade from those bigger ones, though!) And looks like we’ve weathered Hurricane Helene now, too! ❤️😊

Thanks, Jennie! Luckily, we were passed by, but one of my favorite places in the world was among the areas that took a bad hit. Chimney Rock, North Carolina was inundated, and that breaks my heart. I’ve been there on vacation many times, back when I belonged to a group of friends who LOVED The Last of the Mohicans movie (starring Daniel Day-Lewis). We would meet up there for a couple of days every summer, climb the cliff trail, and enjoy the beauty of the mountain views. One year, the actor who played Uncas (Eric Schweig) joined us, and another time Wes Studi did! (He played Magua).
The pictures I saw yesterday really made me sad.

I’m glad for you but very sad for your favorite place. We have good friends who live outside of Asheville, and the devastation is horrific. Thank you for sharing your Last of the Mohicans story. What a great movie! This is truly an epic storm of devastation.

Epic, indeed, and the news keeps getting worse. The damage to the little town of Chimney Rock and Asheville is pretty bad. OH, how I hate Hurricanes!!! The more I read about the damage up there, the sadder I am! They will be a long time rebuilding, I’m afraid. 😢Hope your friends are all okay. I just read that over 130 people have been killed by the storm!!! This is just AWFUL!!!!
