Glad to hear everyone is okay.

This kind of storm does not usually spook me. I have my hurricane kit ready if I need it. Well, this storm reminded me I need to restock a few things. Don't know why, but this one really spooked me. I still have the jitters today with the squall lines that keep moving through. Fear is not always a rational beast, is it?

Storm had the critters nervous too. The real fraidy cats were hiding under the bed. Mikey, who is not usually bothered by storms, was nervous, jumpy and wanted to be near me. The horses didn't like it either. BG kept hiding under the truck. If I went outside he would slink out with his ears and tail down. Poor babies. No way to reassure them, 'specially since I was jumpy myself.

I heard some people interviewed on TV last night that wondered what all the fuss was about. Obviously they've never lived through a bad storm. I agree with the emergency management folks who viewed it as good practice for when a big one hits.
