Praise God, the storm was not as bad as I expected it to be. I want to thank everyone who was praying for us. We had the eyewall go over us. It happened between 3 and 4 this morning, I thought about going outside and looking around but did not want to get out of bed.
There is something magical about being in the eye of a storm. You go from all of this wind and rain to calm clear skies before it goes back and rains and blows.
We came through it without any real damage, around one o'clock this morning I heard something hit our roof but there was no damage.
There are several houses and condos along the beach that are damaged beyond repair, some are gone. I feel so bad for these people but they must know the dangers when they build there.
before the storm
after the storm, the picnic table and fishing pole are gone.
I found the picnic table over a mile north of where it was.
Some of the docks only have the pilings left
The shoreline is littered with the dock boards
The dock that used to belong to Judah's fish house is gone, only the pilings are there.
Here at home, we never lost power, I am so thankful for this. One street over has not had power since 10 o'clock last night.
There are several big boats on the shoreline but I could not get my husband to stop so I could get a picture, there was cars behind us.
At the end of the dock on the left, yesterday I saw a big fancy boat with 3 huge outboard motors, I think they were ove 200hp each. They had it tied with the stern facing east. I knew if they did not move it, it would be sunk by today. The white that you see at the end of the dock is the flying bridge. I think they have good insurance and knew it would sink. It has to be a $300 thousand dollar boat, maybe more.
Here at home, my dragon fruit blew over,
but we got it put back in place.
The roof blew off of my husband's bird feeder, when this is one of the things that you talk about after a hurricane, you know how Blessed you were.
Our garden vegetables do not look like they just went through 80-mile-an-hour winds.
Only one banana plant is laying over.
