I suppose we are "real Floridians" now that we made it through a real Hurricane. The news was predicting a Category 1, but at the last minute, we decided to nail up the windows anyway. We sure are glad we did since it turned out stronger with 115 mph winds in Delray! The house made it through fine, but our yard got a bit thrashed. We look at it as an excuse to do the yardwork we've been putting off for quite a while. I will post some more pictures up later when the internet connection is better, but for now, here is the house side yard afterwards (with flattened shed!). After two days of yardwork, no progression of utilities' work, and our offices being closed from no power, we decided that this would be a great excuse to come visit my parents in SC for a few days. We made it here last night at 2am ready to plug up the laptops in the morning. The latest is that power will be restored to South Florida by November 22nd?! Camping out at home with candles and a grill doesn't bother us, but the traffic lights all blew away, and people have been getting crazy with driving and searching for water. To say the least, we were afraid of what others may do in light of the aftermath. For now, we will try to make up work and enjoy some family time! Be thinking of all the people in Central America and Mexico that had the worst of it. We were so lucky. Only one more month of hurricane season!
