We went through our first hurricane! Took lots of preparation! Kiellor was at work and Colin's at school, so I got the pleasure of helping my dad board up the windows. :) I actually enjoyed it!
I miss the good ole' woodshop days, so it was fun to have a saw in my hand again!
Haha, exposed by Andy...due to time constraints I didn't get a chance at the saw after all, only got to pose with it for a picture. :)
The big ole' neighborhood dog.
Awesome thing about hurricanes: they bring people together! Our whole neighborhood was out and about preparing, and since school and work got called off, we got to spend a lot of time together.
The sky was incredible!
Then it got a little ominous....
Then a little scary!
I went inside and made an "ike cake" to share with the neighbors. What else is there to do?!
Thankfully we all made it through unscathed, though many others were far less fortunate. We lost power for two days, didn't get much sleep the night of the storm (boy it was loud!), and the roads were obstructed for awhile with branches, but life got back to normal pretty quick and we're thankful that we didn't have any permanent damage (except for a broken window that got hit with a rock while I was mowing...before the hurricane hit. Isn't life ironic?) :)
Our church offices, however, lost their roof!
My dad's office was in pretty bad shape.
Thankfully not much was ruined and insurance is sure a good thing!
