Thank you. Wind has died down somewhat and getting light outside. Devastation just unbelievable. This house used to have solid woods in back behind lot... now looks like it's been clearcut by timber company. Huge trees everywhere either down by their roots or split in half and hanging onto themselves like broken toothpicks. Someone here works for electric company and heard them mumble, "We'll be weeks before we get power back." Ugh.

Signing off to save battery. Wind kicking up again. Please continue praying. We feel it and thank you very much.

I never can locate that "Just Damn!" graphic when I need it, dadblameit.

We're pulling for you, Nita- it sounds awful.

I've been worried about you all night. You really got pounded and it's not over for you yet.

What a mess! I'm so glad to hear that everyone at your location is okay.

I got off easy. Power flickered a few times. Internet connection went out, but obviously seems to be working now. No structural damage, and one banana plant toppled.

It's still too windy here to walk the streets, but as bad as I was worried on Wednesday night when I thought I was dead meat, this feels like a miracle.

Stay safe, Nita, and check back when you can.
