My heart goes out to those who suffered devastation and loss due to this storm. I know many in my area are still without power, some with fallen trees, and a few with flooded homes.
I was very fortunate and for this I am thankful.
What I am not thankful for is the newscasters who made this storm out to be catastrophic. I understand and appreciate all the advance warnings. HOWEVER, please do not, during the strongest part of the storm, broadcast on national news that Virginia Beach is under extreme anything storm related. You freaked out my entire family. You caused them to not believe me when I told them it was hardly raining. That there was no damage that I could see. That this really wasn't more than a bad thunderstorm here. Thank you, for scaring them out of their minds for no reason. My parents were ready to send in the national guard. And I was snug as a bug, watching movies and enjoying a glass of wine. Yeesh.
On a lighter note, this is Molly McGee in her hurricane rain coat.
Once she realized this kept her dry on her walks, she was all about it.
That coat is high cotton!
ReplyDeleteThe hurricane flooded much of Downtown Norfolk but it could have been worse. The eye went right by us! I had no damage! I also lost power for 2 hours and that was it. I am grateful.
Cheers,
Bobby
