You have to rebuild you just have to! Hold your head up high and know that in the end Mother Nature couldn't beat you down...... go forth and just do it for all humanity!

That reminds me of a cat 1 hurricane named Helene IIRC.
I went to bed around 9pm thinking we would lose power and with no AC I wouldn't be able to sleep. I and every other person slept right through it. Never lost power and could not find any evidence the next day that there had ever been a hurricane. Eta Helene was not it. Can't recall the name at the moment. |
