If memory serves me right you have family nearby (Jasmins family), hopefully they are caring and supportive.<br />You’ve done so well, organising your cars and the necessities.<br />We know about trees too as we have a huge Totora (NZ’s largest native) about 3 metres from our townhouse - it’s a worry and because it’s a protected species we can’t cut it down...... we had a few worrying nights during storms a couple of months ago.<br />We live in a cul-de-sac too - so I understand what you meant about moving your cars to a safer space. We want to move from here too - but can’t decide where.<br />Thank you for the exquisite photos of your young Robin - all animals seem to know when storms are on their way.... “if we could talk to the animals” as the song goes ..... they could let us know.<br />Keep safe my dear friend - I’ll keep in touch and praying it’s not too bad.<br />Hugs for you and Bob<br />Shane xxxRoses, Lace and Brocantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821168025062104166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-30639761360805717682018-09-13T14:06:49.285-04:002018-09-13T14:06:49.285-04:00I have a sense of how you must be feeling Mary - w...I have a sense of how you must be feeling Mary - we lived through an unusual hurricane (by British standards) when we stayed in Glasgow, and our eldest son was a toddler. However, we had no idea that it was coming in those days and when we awoke in the middle of the night we were both totally confused as it felt as if we in a storm at sea - the only we way we could communicate was by shouting because the roar and noise was so great - the hurricane reached 140mph (225 kph). We were very frightened, and when we saw all of the disaster around us in the morning, the first thing I said was "let's move away from here quickly".<br />You sound as if you have done everything you possibly can to keep yourselves safe - all of your blogging friends are thinking of you both and really hoping for the best possible outcome.

I too will hope for the best outcome for you. I lived through a small hurricane in Houston and would not want to be in a strong one. The water and power outages are terrible. I did not know you been through the damaging one before. Best of luck and good wishes for you and yours.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.com
