Friday, September 24, 2004Another One!!
This is getting riduculous. Beyond ridiculous. At least this one came and went faster than Frances. We got power back tonight!! woo woo! That's the worst part... having no power. Some places weren't so lucky. North of here they really got hit. Humph. I should have stayed in New York. Well, maybe just until November!
Saturday, September 11, 2004Enough With the Hurricanes!!!
I just can't believe another one is on the way. It's overwhelming. People are already acting insane around here. They're acting even stupider than usual, which is a lot to say in a town that doens't even know how to vote. I was in line at the gas station and saw some old guy, totally oblivious, back into someone's parked car, who was in the car and honking his horn at the guy. He didn't even realize he had hit the car until the guy got out of the car and started banging on his window HELLO! So yeah. Looking forward to another wonderful span of no power and no work and no money. I'm very glad we didn't have to face the wrath of Ivan here, but still, I just can't deal with another one, even a small one. Please stop.
Thursday, September 02, 2004The Hurricane State
With two hurricanes just passed, and one headed here, Florida seems more like the Hurricane State than the Sunshine State lately. Frances left my part of Florida, and most of the state really, a wreck. Trees down everywhere, homes damaged, power outages, etc. My family's house did all right, only some tree branches down and a little bit of roof damage. Still will cost money to fix though, so it's a bummer. The tree in front of my window pounded against the house for the whole course of the storm, which was really annoying, but luckily it didn't crash through the house or anything. We had no power for four days, and on and off for the next two. No phone service for several days either, and of course we can't rely on cell phones to work ever, so they were useless. It's been a week since the storm actually hit, and some places still don't have power. Lots of traffic lights are still out, which makes it even more annoying to drive around here, and people act even dumber than usual. We had an eight o'clock and then ten o'clock curfew imposed on us for nearly a week. Some places still have a curfew. It's been very wierd and everyone just wants to get back to normal. I was very glad to find my grandmother and great aunt's mobile homes in Port St. Lucie, an area that was hit heavily by the storm, intact. Some of the homes in their park were trashed, but theirs sustained only minor damage, and we thanked the Lord for that blessing. I just hope this Ivan stays far, far away!! We've had enough!!
Hurricane Frances
