I've weathered two hurricane's one while living in Florida and the other while I lived in the Caribbean. In the Caribbean if your a local, there is pretty much no way to evacuate off the island and most air seats are taken up getting tourists out of harms way, in Florida it's best to seek high ground and that's what we did. It is a scary force of nature, and this looks like a particularly bad one.farawayeyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578277501054242356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-72373696555317090292016-10-06T20:31:01.980-04:002016-10-06T20:31:01.980-04:00Happy to hear you're okay!

I've evacuated all the way back to Pennsylvania. :) Better to be safe than sorry. I live in Central PA, and we've had hurricanes visit us several times. The last one sounded like a band of warring banshee's trying to wipe each other out. The sounds in the pitch black of night was horrifying and our house was barely missed by a falling 90 foot tree. Listening to that go on for hours was beyond stressful, so I can't imagine being that close to the ocean when they come ashore. I will try to catch up with all of you now that I am high and dry. :)Yolanda Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085436784133103221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-30429623800699028652016-10-06T04:09:22.875-04:002016-10-06T04:09:22.875-04:00Beautiful!
