rayvyn2kThe storm is moving so s-l-o-w-l-y I cannot even believe it. I have never seen anything like it before--and I lived in FL for over 30 years.
I spoke to my mom last night, she has lost power but was in relatively good spirits. She said it wasn't as bad as she'd expected it to be--but it hadn't really come ashore yet. It was good to hear that she wasn't all freaked out and upset. What a trooper.
I also spoke to my son. He and his fiance are at the hospital and he said there are about 10 people in the room (it's apparantly a large "pain center" room, not a patient's type room) with them and they are talking and playing games, etc. He sounded good and said he was very glad they chose to go there instead of trying to sit it out at home, because now some others were calling the hospital and being told there was no way they could be brought there--don't bother to call 911 because at the peak of the storm, even the emergency workers are hunkered down and cannot respond.
I didn't reach my sister, or her phone service was out. I talked to my brother yesterday morning and he was ready, too.
I am relieved, but I cannot stay away from the Weather Channel for very long because I get antsy. I wish it would hurry up and finish already, sheesh.
I spent a lot of time yesterday playing a computer game my husband bought for me ages ago called "Heroes of Might and Magic IV". I had forgotten how much I enjoy that game. It really helped me pass the time yesterday while my hubby was out with his friend doing their Geocaching. He's supposed to go camping tonight, so I foresee another round of HMM4 in my future, heh.
Guess that's all for now.
