23. I don't scare easily.

Sep 2017

When the center of the storm hit us, I lost it! Ended up in the bathtub with my pet and a mattress on top of us.

Going through the eye was eerily strange. Right before the eye I thought the building was going to come down on us, then all at once dead quiet & no wind & rain. After the eye passed, we had very strong winds again but no rain.

This damn hurricane went on all day long and into the night.

I always worry about you too. You have been such a great friend.
