Hurricane Dolly

We started boarding up for Hurricane Dolly on Tuesday afternoon. We were not that concerned since they were predicting it to be a category 1 storm. As is started getting closer it moved to a category 2 but we were just expecting a lot of rain and wind. We lost our power on Wednesday afternoon and didn't get it back until late Friday night. Luckily we had some friends that never lost power so he were able to spend time at their house on Friday. It was miserable to be in the house, you would sweat just sitting still. We ended up getting our cable and phone back on Sunday afternoon. We went to the grocery store this afternoon to replenish our empty frig and I couldn't believe how stocked the store was. Unbelievable how fast it was replenished. Just a couple of days ago the stores were throwing out everything cold and they had security guarding the dumpsters. This is the first hurricane we have been through in the 14 years we have been down here and I hope we don't get another one for a LONGGGGGGGGGGGG time! Here are some pictures of the water and in town!


Tuesday night - all is calm




Boarding up the windows


The water is starting in inch up the driveway

May I take your order? I guess NOT


No wonder we don't have any power!
Always,
