Independence day. The day most Americans wake up, go watch neat parades and fireworks and celebrate the great country that we live in. Most of the time that is the way I celebrate the day too. But this year our fireworks were a little brighter and the Booms were just a little louder then the norm. Hurricane Arthur decided to remind us of the "fun" of living on the coast in hurricane season. Thankfully we have done this drill before living Texas and Florida and we were some what prepared. But I was hoping NOT to have to do it with none of my disaster stuff unpacked, like flash lights, camping stoves, lanterns, generator. Thankfully our new house had amazing storm shutters and a generator that we did have to use when the power went out. With just a few trees down around the house we weathered through well. Sadly many farmers crops of corn were NOT so fortunate. Fields that were beautiful lush green corn were completely wiped out. The morning after the storm we took a drive around. The sunset was amazing and you would have never guess with the calmness that we just had a giant hurricane go over the top of us!
This is the fortune cookie I had the night before the hurricane.... kind of hits home.
See the blue dot? That is us and that eye went right over us.
This was the last picture I took before the electricity went out.
But the sunset the next day was amazing!
The calm after the storm. The bay was like glass
WOW!!
