It's been a hectic two weeks. Two hurricanes and all the clean up. Our area is still in shell shock over the amount of debris. Many have lost their homes and everything in them. Thankfully we did not suffer damage from the storms, only a lot of tree limbs and trash in our yard.
This is on every street. Piles of Trees and large trunks that have been cut down waiting for pick up. If I were to say Hurricane Milton was the scariest storm we have experienced it would be true. All night long we heard tree limbs and logs hitting the roof of our house. And the Wind! Oh my goodness. No sleeping that night. But I have to confess that the Lord gave us a sense of peace during it all. It has been hard to get back to blogging when I think of all the loss. And it is pretty widespread. Not only on the beaches but inland as well.
It's all everybody still talks about. In the stores or work place they will ask, "How did you weather the storm?" It is still too raw.
Thank you for the prayers and thoughts during this time. They have been most appreciated. And could you say a prayer for those who lost everything? Most people living inland do not have flood insurance, as they are not in flood areas. They will be starting to rebuild from scratch. Not only here in Florida but North Carolina and Georgia who took the brunt of Hurricane Helene.

Unreal! But the the devastating weather-caused disasters are increasing.
Sad to see. Hope everyone comes out of it stronger.
People who lost everything … it's hard to fathom the depth of this catastrophe. They need prayers and action from friends and strangers. Also, human caused climate change needs more of our attention.
So much destruction. Thankfully you are safe but I know it will take a lot of time to restore things and help people recover.
Everyone is in my prayers
Great pictures of this critically needed work!
Oh wow, my heart goes out to everyone affected. I love how the various power companies help each other out after storms. Oklahoma sent some crews to Florida this time and other states, probably including Florida, have sent crews to Oklahoma after some of our weather incidents.
I was living in Conroe, Texas in the 1980's, a hundred miles from the coast when Hurricane Alicia, a fairly weak storm, came and I swore I was going to Nebraska for the next one.
I've experienced river floodings and I know if I multiplied that experience by 100 it still wouldn't approach what all you in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina experienced. I've had a taste and yet I still can't wrap my head around it. I've been to the Asheville area twice and have driven through some of those hamlets now destroyed. Who ever would have thought???? I am thankful you are "relatively" OK but take care of yourself - you may only realize, as time passes, just how affected you have been personally. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

Worth a Thousand Words
Good photos to show some of the devastation caused by those hurricanes... So sorry for all those struggling to clear up the mess.
Hurricane Milton was indeed scary. Thankful we have not much damage other than fallen tree branches on the yard. And as of this week, the yard is all cleaned up.
Im so glad you did not have serious damage -- we didn't either, our little cottage is still liveable with no damage, but the A/C and some ductwork have to be replaced (again). We are deallng with insurance and contractors from all the way across the country , serious long distance fun (not). But it's all going to be OK and compared to so many others (as you point out) more than OK!
