We did go down to the basement for a while, but we spent the night in our own beds. Dan and I stayed up until about 2:00, so we'd be ready to grab the kids and run back downstairs if things got wild. I slept half-dressed with the rest of my clothes laid out like a fireman, so I could jump up and into my jeans in one action...luckily that didn't become necessary.
The wind is still whipping around and there are lots of sirens going off this morning. I suppose with this wind, we're still in danger of losing power, so if I disappear, start chanting, okay? I'll start rigging up a running wheel on the side of the puter...the tricky part is going to be catching the squirrels to run in it.
I'm pooped but really grateful!

So glad you all are safe!

The girls didn't seem too scared - mainly excited. Jolie, being an 11 year old, is disappointed that we didn't see more flooding or a longer power failure. I think she wanted to live in the basement for a few days. LOL

Our flooding hasn't been too bad yet, but it's still seeping in. I guess time will tell. We have about 1/2 inch waiting for us in the basement right now. (Not even enough for a good game of Marco Polo, but plenty enough to really tick off the cats. LOL)

The only hurricane I was ever in was in Houston. We had those huge pine trees down there that are all trunk with a little bit of bushy limbs waaaaaaay up there at the top. Well, being an Iowa farm girl and the survivor of many a tornado, I wasn't too impressed with that storm, so I was out watching those trees fanning back in forth in the wind. I had more than one neighbor sticking his head out, yelling at me to get back inside! LOL One actually did come down across our street and it was a couple of days before they were able to get it all cut up and hauled away. It was pretty exciting!
Hope others fared as well.
