I ...Really interesting to hear of your experience. I have only witnessed one hurricane in my life, and that was back in 1987, a storm which hit the south coast of England. I cannot remember what category it was, but is was pretty scary. This sort of event is a rare occurence over here, and I can't begin to imagine how it must affect your lives to endure such thing on a regular basis. Let's hope for no hurricane preparation for you this season, but rest assured if one does strike, all the neighbours will be at hand to help out. xLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800196831833931842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241669906084896146.post-33212716671289493822008-07-18T22:57:00.000-04:002008-07-18T22:57:00.000-04:00After reading this, it was left up on the screen a...After reading this, it was left up on the screen as I went to see about my puppy. Tori passed by, sat down and with her jaw hanging open (in awe) most of the time - she finished reading your post, looked over at me and said, "Well, I am so glad that she was prepared!" <BR/><BR/>She was most impressed with how everyone helped to clean up and then cooking the food from the freezer and sharing. She would love to have you as a neighbor. :0)<BR/><BR/>~KathySew Anywayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647829565441282884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241669906084896146.post-52937130421462483192008-07-18T15:05:00.000-04:002008-07-18T15:05:00.000-04:00We live inland but do suffer the wrath of hurrican...We live inland but do suffer the wrath of hurricanes occassionally more like the tornadoes spawned from them.

People really come through for one another when the going gets rough. You're right about being prepared (note to self). We should all have a kit for ourselves or as you so kindly put it - if we don't need the things, someone else is bound to. Now that's the spirit - very lovely one, indeed!<BR/>I'll keep you and your community in my thoughts and prayers this hurricane season.<BR/>xo~TracieTracie~MyPetiteMaisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115515570349062556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241669906084896146.post-89165007873890018292008-07-17T20:00:00.000-04:002008-07-17T20:00:00.000-04:00I have lived through lots of hurricanes in south F...I have lived through lots of hurricanes in south Florida.
