It was about noon when I left yesterday. Some of the drive was a little spooky due to wind. Hazel, cats and I got here safe.
One of my neighbors, who evacuated ahead of me texted to tell me there was a tornado in the area around our houses. Talk about feeling helpless!
Milton was headed straight for my place, but made a small jog south of me. Same neighbor who told me about the tornado called me this afternoon. They'd gone check their property and looked my place over too. House and barn were okay. A huge tree branch fell on my storage shed and flattened it. I'll sort that out when I get home.
Power is out in most of my county. No idea when it will come back on. I'm staying with my friend until Saturday. We are cleaning up storm debris here. I know my house is okay. Have no interest in returning to a house with no power or water. Am exhausted by the stress and clean up here. I am grateful my house is okay. There are lots of folks who lost everything.
Thank you to everyone for your support.
