When we did return (to find a hole in our roof and tree limbs all over our yard), we were without power for a little while. My kids were sucked back in time as their media sources were cut off, and we all grabbed lanterns and books. It was kind of nice actually. (I wish I'd thought of the wine. Great idea.) Hope y'all are okay up there!Julie Gloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14750682989494250914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715543386762822529.post-4410382641701085872011-08-27T08:20:48.042-07:002011-08-27T08:20:48.042-07:00Since I moved to the Houston area, we've exper...Since I moved to the Houston area, we've experienced two hurricanes (Rita and Ike). Rita was no big deal. It moved inland and made a huge mess at parents' place 100 miles north of here. Ike made a huge mess here. No electricity and no internet fora week. At least we had running water...even though it was cold. Some parts of Houston had no running water (and no sewer) for two weeks!<br /><br />Last night we were watching the hurricane coverage on the weather channel. They said, "Be sure to make arrangements for your pets. Some shelters won't take them." Yikes. I really feel for people trying to figure out what to do with themselves and their pets. <br /><br />Anyway, let me know how you fared at soon as you can. You and your family are in my prayers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715543386762822529.post-68251379294823662212011-08-26T07:55:20.421-07:002011-08-26T07:55:20.421-07:00Cynthia, from one RI Writer to another, it's a...Cynthia, from one RI Writer to another, it's an experience that we can draw upon in our stories!
