Images from Hurricane Helene

Saw these images  earlier and thought I would share, for those who have no idea just how horrifying a hurricane can be. Some of them astonished ME, and I’ve lived in “Hurricane Country” all my life. I hope we don’t see another like Helene for a long, long time!

Chimney Rock & Asheville North Carolina were hit exceptionally hard. See for yourself:

Hurricane Passed Us By!

Florida Says “Goodbye, Helene … and Good Riddance!!”

Thankfully, Mark and I in Sanford (and my son & family in Gainesville) got nothing from Hurricane Helene but some rain as it passed through our part of Florida on its way much farther north. We were incredibly lucky. Many folks along Helene’s route didn’t fare nearly as well, and so far, the loss of life totals 43! My heart goes out to everyone who has lost someone thanks to this storm, and to those whose homes have been damaged.  Praying those numbers do NOT continue to increase as the storm continues northward!

Hurricane On the Way!

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.
