Just letting you all know we're safe and sound. This storm, for all it's bigness ended being less damaging than Irma was last September for us. We lost a few leaves and a few dead limbs and had no damage or loss of electricity in our rural area. Katie lost power in town last night but reported no damage except a small leak that came in through the chimney and considering the wind it isn't a wonder. Mama has reported no damage except her trash can blew away. I'm hopeful one of the neighbors will return it to her. I checked in with Matt this morning and he and Taylor had no damage in their neighborhood nor town. Here's hoping the rest of you remain as safe as we were!

So far the bloggers I go to on a regular basis are ok except Grandma Donna. She is the one I call the 1940's
blogger. Generations Before Us at gdonna.com. You know of her. Her daughter posted telling us in her mother's town 80% are without power. She asked her daughter to post for her to tell everyone she and Charles are ok. I don't know the extent of damage to her home but the photo shown shows a fence blown partially down on her property.

I am sorry.... I ned to add that Donna lives in Alabama. I forgot to mention this. Sarah
Glad you are Ok Terri! Just rain here in ME
Ga. Sarah, thank you for letting us know about Grandma Donna!
I was concerned about you and your family members who live near you. I started to google where the storm was in Georgia and then realized that I don't really know where you are in Georgia. I was praying that you and yours would be safe and I am thankful that all of you are.
It is suddenly so cold here that we had to turn the furnace on last night and it came on and off all night. It emitted that "first-use-of-the-season" furnace stink the first few times it came on, but finally that is gone. Thank goodness. It was sunny, windy and very chilly here today and will be cold in the 40's again tonight. Tomorrow will be a cold rainy day here.
We will be watching our grandson tomorrow, I hope he has managed to dodge all of the kid sickness that starts when school does.
Thanks for the update and glad to know about gDonna. We had a lot of family in it's path but the worst anyone has is our youngest son in coastal SC has a piece of siding blown off his house. We had 5-6 inches of rain in 24 hours and a lot of debris in our yard. There was a tornado warning at 3:25 this AM and we were scrambling to get downstairs but it was cancelled before we even got there. The pictures on the news of the Florida panhandle are heartbreaking though. I cannot imagine even knowing where to start to clean up such a huge area of destruction.
So glad to hear you are okay and the rest of your family. I imagine the thoughts of really bad weather gets John a bit nervous about accidents, ect. I cant begin to imagine the logistics of trying to evacuate a large hospital.The temp has really dropped today and tonight the furnace is running. It will be in the 50's for a few days and it was cloudy and the wind was very cool. Just a rehearsal for what is coming. Thanks for letting us know you are okay, My NC family was getting the rain today. Gramma D

Good to hear you and yours (furkids included!) were not harmed. Such a blessing!
