I am at work and the only thing I can think about is my bees
It always amazes me that the animals know.
Beth here… It may be time to look into a whole house generator as backup for these occasions
Thanks for letting us share your life in Helene….glad that animals and glass house were spared damage…peace to your hearts…He is still in control!😊
All of our family and most of our friends are in the Carolinas (we moved to Texas four years ago), and they have all said that it’s the worst that they can remember. My best friend’s elderly mom is in Mills River and they can’t get in touch with her. This hurricane has been so awful. 😢😢
In E. Tennessee praying for y'all.
Praying for your family and your community ❤
Went thru hurricane Ian, not my first but definitely the worst. We were in the area right along the eye wall of the storm. 12 hours of devastating wind >140 mph. Thank God the house hung in there. Still suffer from ptsd when the wind kicks up. Prayers for you all.
So very dangerous to be out walking-metal building parts could blow through and really hurt you!!
Just a heads up, your camera has two dead pixels on the sensor near the center of the image
We're here in Florida we were blessed compared to the Big bend but Hernando county still got rocked hard . We have some bad damage all around us but our farm made it out with no damage. We still don't have power but our wonderful Linemen are working on it. God bless
I know there is a lot of work ahead now, but glad you are "okay."
We went thru katrina and that is how we ended up in Ar….bee safe and prayers for ur family.
Thank for the update. I’ve been praying for y’all. ❤🙏🏼
Thank for the update. I’ve been praying for y’all. ❤🙏🏼
Good to see you are all oke, kind regards from STUDIO ROOTS Joke Blokland The Netherlands.
I was thinking about y’all during the storm! I’m glad things weren’t worse for you
Thanks for letting us know you are ok. Sorry about the Treeless house 🙁
Well, now the boys have a fort 😅
And now you know what to plan for when the next storm comes.
Thankful y'all are all okay 😊
What a scary experience🙀😥Thanks for sharing a first hand account to remind everyone not directly affected by Helene that we need to keep all those affected, in our prayers🙏
🙏🙏🙏
Glad you guys and properties are ok. All will grow and thrive again. Keeping up with friends in Ft Meyers, Tampa and NC, praying for the best! Looking forward to your updates, take care!
Coleman camp stove is a must have. Also head strap flash light.
Thank God you're OK 🙏 What a summer for you indeed
Glad you all are ok❤️
That’s for sharing. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family 🙏🏻
Lots of prayers for you all dears 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. GODBLESS YOU ALL. Be strong. God has this for you all . 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Mobil homes are the most dangerous homes dealing with Weather!
People live in them here in Florida, and we’ve seen Mobil courts destroyed.
I pray 🙏🏻 you are all okay as I’m just checking in at 2:00PM here on Friday. September 27th
I live on EAST COAST ~~FLORIDA near Space Coast Center NASA 🚀
Please reply 🙏🏻📖 PSALM 121: 1-2
Sorry. We were planning to get hammered in Alabama and it sounds like you got it instead. School was canceled and it has been just a gentle rain on and off with occasional mild breezes.
So grateful to hear you're all okay. I'm praying for all being impacted by Helene!
Just subbed 👍+set bell 🔔
Florence,SC here,we got lots of rain and winds and a few tornado watch/warnings, prayers for everyone. Gods blessings to all❤️🙏🙌
I could feel my heart pounding as you were describing the wind and wall of rain that hit you. Glad you are all OK.
Stay safe
Thank you , Jesus for protecting your family. So scary!
Where are you ? What State?
So glad you weathered this storm. Born and raised in FL, I live out west now…..LOL. Was up all night watching Ryan Hall weather as I have all 3 of my sons in North central FL, my best friend of 50yrs taking care of her father in Tallahassee and my parents are near you. When the storm took a turn east it missed a direct hit to Tallahassee and stayed north of my sons, but headed towards my parents and y'all, My mother told me "I thought we left this in FL!"
When Hurricane Fran hit NC, we rode out a direct hit from a Cat 3 in a double wide. It was probably the scariest storm I’ve been through. The house shook constantly and the draft kept blowing the candles . I am glad y’all are okay. My heart breaks for those who are in the path of the storm. I believe this storm caused significantly more damage than anyone could have predicted.
So happy to see that you are all safe
Continuing to pray for you, your family and the community. Glad you are safe that’s the main thing.
Tornado vs hurricane.
A similar comparison would be a speeding dump truck vs a freight train.
With the same wind speed, the hurricane will be many times worse.
glad to hear all are okay
Grateful that you will be okay. It is a heavy blow, but if it had to happen, you were about to pull up and start another round anyway. Your family is strong and you will find some good, even in this.
I'm so thankful y'all are ok. Praying for your community and for all those who have been affected by the hurricane/storms.
Hey Miah & Jess, so glad y'all are okay. I live in a little brick house in Gilbert. I woke up a bit later than y'all to that terrifying wind. Huge trees around my house, but I'm safe, no trees fell. I wondered for awhile if we were getting a tornado! Whew!!! I thank God we're all okay.
