We had no electricity no phone no computer no hot water etc...for 5 days . We did lose the 100 year old tree in front of the house. Lucky it did not destroy any ones cars or property. It destroyed our fence though. We have to have the rest cut down. No one was hurt and we all managed. I did lose all my food in the fridge but that can be replaced. Glad to be back!
Thank you Karen (02kar) she let you all know I was OK. Thanks for all you good thoughts and prayers! Suzanne

Great News - I know what being without the power is like. 2005 we were hit with 3 back to back hurricanes in 6 weeks. On the first one we were without power for 9 days, and it was terrible hot down here. We too lost all the food in fridge and freezers. We lost 30 of our beautiful oaks. But, the main thing is - you are safe. Glad you are back.

I am so glad that nothing worse had happened. Nice to see you back. Isn't it amazing how dependent we are on electricity? My sister in Connecticut lost all the food in fridge and freezer also but that is so little compared to the destruction from the floods in other places.

Suzanne, another prayer answered. So happy you are back - it had to be a difficult time - it is sad - when the trees are lost like that - so happy to hear that no one was hurt and you managed.

Glad you got your power back. We were 3 days and it seemed like a lot longer. My son lost 2 cars, 2 motorcycles, 3 four wheelers and a riding lawnmower for the worst of it.

So glad to have you back and safe. Too bad about the old tree. You can replant but can't replace something like that.

My grandmother planted it in 1908. Well that is how it goes. i will miss the tree but will have to plant something else. Thank you! Suzanne

Great that you are all well and safe. Sorry about the tree - they are so beautiful when they are that old, but, on the other hand, rather the tree than other things that can happen. I have never lived through one of these or a cyclone and just go cold when I see what they can do. Frightening !!!

We have been through many and are prepared as possible but mother nature is powerful. I am glad nothing happened to the cars or house! The rest you can deal with.Thank you! Suzanne

Good news to hear you made it through the storm. You probably have great appreciation for your electricity to be back on and that it wasn't winter.

Having been through a few hurricanes myself it is always good to hear that everyone came through okay and you were pretty lucky that there was such a small property loss.
