We are fine. Power is back on as of last night (thank you Duke Energy workers!). The front yard is hastily cleaned up of debris. Standing water and mushy ground makes it hard to do a good job in the back. That can wait.
During the worst of the hurricane our pool was full. The draining pump went off when we lost power. The force of the wind blew water out of the pool out the back where it wouldn’t creep up on our house. Crazy.
We actually had less water in the pool when we woke up on Thursday than when we went to bed late Wednesday night. We lost power about 2:30 am. Yes, we slept through the worst of it, which hit between 2 and 6 am. I kept waking up in the dark hearing the wind so powerful and loud, not knowing what might happen next.
We were lucky.
I'm glad you were lucky and it's all past now!

ReplyDeleteGlad to read that, hope it will never get worse ever.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you are okay. The news shows such horror.
ReplyDeleteYou've been in my thoughts. Thank you for the update. I can only imagine the sound of the powerful and loud wind. So good to know you and Tom are safe.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you are all right and the wind blew the water away from your house. I would have been too nervous to sleep!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are safe.
