Whistle Not A Howl

FINALLY things are slowing down. The wind is a whistle instead of that steady howl. We are still seeing some decent gusts, but it's much better than it was. Now we're starting to get bands of thunderstorms but that constant, pounding rain and wind is done.

Whew.

I did finally drift off to sleep late this afternoon for a couple of hours. I didn't realize how very tired I was. Glad I didn't sleep too long, so that I can sleep tonite.

We are under curfew until dawn tomorrow so I'm hunkered down for the evening. Honestly - I have no where I want to go anyway. I'm half afraid to go out and see the damage.

The highlight of my day - well other than my house is still standing intact - was when Bou called this afternoon. She's fine and actually has power already!! WooHoo. They were only out for 12 hours. There is some damage, have no doubt there. The way she put it is that those that had light damage, have more. Those that had serious damage - well, you can imagine. The boys are fine, and she was out and about to check on some people she was worried about. I was just very relieved to hear from her.

I can't believe I'm hearing that people are out and about so much today. Maybe it's because I don't have TV but based on what I'm still seeing it's not clear yet. But then again, I keep thinking that people are using common sense and that's not always the case.

So that's whats going on here. I'm going to put in a movie to entertain myself and try and keep from thinking about the football game I can't watch. Then am hoping for a nice quiet nights sleep. We made it through another one. I'm just so grateful.
