**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I needed a time out from posting about Hurricane Milton….. The 2024 Hurricane Season is not over…it has another month yet….. …..sigh….. But I suppose this post quasi-qualifies as a post-Milton post…(just how many times can I use the word “post”?–Clearly one more time)….. This post qualifies…because apparently I dropped my cell phone a number of times during Hurricane Milton’s onslaught….. …..(what can I say…I was a bit nervous)….. Afterwards…I noticed I had…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** This clean-up is going to be a long process…everything’s a mess….. We are now at the chainsaw’ing stage…at least the ones that our skill-level can manage….. I hate loosing healthy trees….. The big Oak that came down on the corner roof of the barn…will probably be one of the last things to clean up….. …..because once that’s chainsaw’ed…then the broken pasture fence and smashed gates behind it will need to be addressed….. …..and…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** This is a continuation of the post-Milton effects….. We don’t live near the Gulf of Mexico…we missed so much of the damage from Milton’s and Hurricane Helene’s storm surges….. *****(Click Here–Coastal Damage from Hurricane Milton)***** *****(Click Here–Gulf of Mexico Damage)***** But we got the winds…and apparently at least one tornado too….. Now that it’s a few days out…it’s easier to see the many tornado-topped trees, because the remaining leaves are turning brown….. But…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** There’s so much to clean-up….. So much….. ~~~But We Are Still Counting Our Blessings~~~ There are so many branches and leaves everywhere (and down our chimney in the den)….. The trees all look bare….. Multiple burn piles are necessary…but things are so soggy…it’s hard to keep one going….. …..unless it’s an electrical vehicle…with a battery that’s been exposed to salt water…(flooding from the Gulf of Mexico)….. …..and then you can’t put out the…

We are all totally emotionally & physically exhausted….. …..but we’re still standing…..

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** My heart and prayers go out to all of the victims of Hurricane Helene….. I’ve read the newspapers…and seen the television coverage…and watched the YouTube and TikTok videos….. ………….and it just doesn’t make any sense…at all…………. ………….it doesn’t…………. I’ve lived on the west coast of Florida since 1972…and in that amount of time…we’ve had a healthy share of hurricanes and tropical weather….. …..and I’m here to say…Helene didn’t play by the rules….. Granted…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** We are trying to wrap our heads around everything that occurred with Hurricane Helene’s arrival and subsequent damage….. …..how incredibly far-reaching her destruction has been….. And there’s already “something else” forming in the Caribbean Sea…Again…and heading towards the Gulf of Mexico….. There are also some “things” out in the Atlantic Ocean trying really hard to get bigger…and heading this way too….. We are just finishing September…and only starting October…and this year’s hurricane season…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Well…here we are on the other side of Hurricane Helene….. …..we were so lucky….. …..others were not….. Where we feel very very grateful to the Powers-that-Be….. I feel so very badly for the people who were in Helene’s sights….. The images from the Space Station showed a storm that was immense…enough to cover our entire state….. Helene affected so many….. …..the storm surge of water from the Gulf of Mexico occurred along the…
