We lucked out compare to some others.
No big damage was done. Some people had big trees fall on there
homes.
Thursday before I took Carrie to her
doctor appointment I went and visited Murphette out toward Moyie
Spring. Not much damage on the way out.
But I drove the older highway back
home. Notice someone lost most of there roof.
Our life was bit inconvenient compare
to other who had it lot harder. Didn't have power. Actual the wind
took out all the dead and unhealthy branches from our trees. Two load
pick up loads were haul to the dump. Plus a good soaking for the
garden.
Since we have a gas range to cook on.
This range has an electric start with out any electricity We had to
use wooded matches to light the range to cook
The fridge was anther issue. Not much
in freezer part in the fridge. We gave the stuff to Murphy niece
Quincy, she has five offspring.
Put ice in meat try and didn't open it
as much. Seem to keep the food not spoiling.
Friday Morning I went for my walk in
our neighborhood. Chris was checking on his place and wondering when
they would have the power back on.
Thursday evening he tried to get his
generator started. No go.
His freezer was full of meat.
This was freak storm that came though
usual storms like this come though later part of August; first part
of September.
To finish off the harvest season. Now I
keep hearing we're in for a warm up. Ninety plus (32.2) But only time
is going to tell what the weather actual does. None of us can do
anything about it any how.
Actual the power came up to us, lacking
2 hours being 48 hours. Actual the storm did us more good then warm.
Trees got a good shacking and garden got good socking.
Coffee is on
Glad you are safe and no serious damages. Keep calm and carry on blogging.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what would happen if Hong Kong lost power for a day or two. Some people here are so addicted to their smart phones that they might have withdrawal symptoms like drug adddicts would if they were being weaned off drugs!
ReplyDeleteyou handled that 100 times better than i would have.
ReplyDeleteI have plenty of gas for cooking, and really good 12 volt lights I make myself. I could care less if the power went out for a week.
ReplyDeleteBilly P is a pussy, hehehehe
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't all that bad. Actual the best part no phone. I get tired of call if I'll sponsor or donate to something.
ReplyDeleteNo you can donate to me.
