Hope everyone is SAFE.

We had Elsa on Wednesday night, Thursday early morning.

30 minute commute turned into hour plus as trees were cleared from the road as we went.
We live in Hilton Head South Carolina

we lost power for quite some time but they lost a lot more in town. Nothing like what you had but it stormed but good, twice. Big lightning but the wind was much tamer than yours.

Came through again this evening and was beautiful to watch then it just cleared up. No idea what is next.

Take care while cleaning up. What a mess that must be.

Here in New Orleans, “people say” storms are also a problem.

But seriously, you guys are facing storms and the west coast is on fire. So what is Summer like in New Orleans? “Streetcar Named Desire” sweltering hot? No. It’s been the Summer of no sun here in New Orleans. Rain every day. It’s like a monsoon season, I attribute it to climate change.

It could be an anomaly but I smell a change.
