Yeah..we are no Katrina. Life will be back to normal soon. Talk about funny.. I was watching from my covered porch. One of my neighbors decided to go to his mail box. He was wearing swimming goggles. Another had their garage open and a teenage boy was laying in the trunk , using the trunk door for an umbrella....oh well...they were probably watching me too... standing outside seeing how strong the wind was:’)

That's right, even though we are the sometimes maligned ‘border’ we're not the Katrina crowd.

Swim googles! Why didn't we think of that? We were trying to fill the gens at 3 am with one of us holding on to the house, and to each other. We couldn't see a thing. I'm so adding googles to the kit.

Even under the covered porch, we were still doing the Jim Cantore dance of derangement.

We're still without power. The CPL crews are out working like mad. 1/2 block away an entire big power pole went down and took the lines with it. They're trying to get the lines up now.

But, I see a line of storms coming in from the south, so it looks like here we go again. No hot bath tonight, I guess. :(
