We are happy to say that we are safe and sound and we finally have power after the crazy hurricane that just came through here. A lot of the city is still out of power and Steve is having to work 16 hour days. Right before the storm my cousin Erin called and invited Ava and I to stay with them. They had their windows all boarded up and they had a generator for when the power went out. My aunt Bonnie (Ava's Nana) also stayed the night. We all went to bed after tiring of the continuous hurricane coverage at about 12:30, two hours later the winds started and sounded scary!!! We could hear the transformers outside buzzing and getting ready to blow right before the power went out. Erin came and got in bed with Ava and I and we just sat there and listened to the wind blow wondering if it would get worse, and it did! For the rest of the night we all played musical beds moving from room to room. The wind got very scary between 4 and 6 in the morning. We were just sure a tree would come through the house. Steve stayed at our house with his dad and I called him throughout the night to check on him. I was really worried about all of the pine trees around our house. The storm finally slowed down about 8 in the morning and Ava managed to sleep through the entire storm. Erin's power was out for a full day and our power was out until Wednesday night, so I stayed at Erin's with Ava until Wednesday. When we got home this is what we found. Not too bad and only minimal damage to the house. We got very lucky and my sweet cousin Michael helped us out big time by coming over and cutting up all the limbs and putting them out on the curb for us. One of Erin and David's friends did get a tree through his house and several houses near us got pine trees through their house.
