Ugh, I had a whole update typed out and accidentally got rid of it!
So, we lived, and have a very messy yard but no actual damage. No power anywhere in town, and we got smelly so had to go to a hotel so we could take hot showers. And sit in the hot tub. And eat at a hibachi place for dinner. My son said, “Can we do this every time there’s a hurricane?”
Lots of damage around us, especially along the beach. Huge stone wharf and retaining walls just demolished, homes along the water significantly damaged, trees down on power lines, flooded roads, etc. Compared to other areas, we did OK. We probably won’t have power for a week or so, and the start of school has been delayed until next week.
On the upside, we have enough fuel now for 53 backyard campfires so there will be many s’mores in our future!
Glad to hear everyone is doing well and staying safe!
