Oh No Jen!

I'll bet you are freaking out! I would be to if I was there...on the top floor

JenRN · 09-18-2003, 10:02 PM

The entire freaking hospital in the front is made of glass, and we are up on a hill........ yeah sure I will sleep tonight

JulieCitySlicker · 09-18-2003, 10:16 PM

That sucks Jen

JenRN · 09-18-2003, 10:19 PM

The walls are vibrating and the window is gushing out water on the sides, this really bites. The eye is over us now. I am really afraid to see the daylight come in the am, the destruction is going to be massive

JenRN · 09-19-2003, 09:37 AM

I am here STILL at work, I have to work another 12 hours now on about 3 hours sleep! We are the only ones in town with power so everyone and thier mother are coming here for food, it is a mess! I talked to my husband and he is walking around town with the video camera filming the destruction. He says power lines are down, poles are on fire and my street is closed, due to massive trees in the road. So far my house has done fair and my car remains in one piece. Me on other hand I am exhausted and looking forward to my own bed tonight power in the house or not.

Virginia has not seen a hurricane like this in over 12 years. I myself am a northerner so this is a BIG deal to me! This was a massive hurricane and caused major destruction, parts of Fairfax and DC are flooded and under water, thier are no gas stations, grocery stores open etc... we are the only hospital in the 100 mile radius that has the electrical power and water power to do dialysis etc.... so yeah I guess with 3 hours of sleep and barely any food and being the "charge nurse" my nerves are frayed a little! Just watch the news you will see the destruction I am talking about. Sorry about Texas, what hit there?

TeriB19 · 09-19-2003, 11:54 AM

Well Jen I'm glad to hear that your house and vehicles survived the storm, sorry that you have to be stuck there but better safe than sorry. We managed to get through with just some small branches off the trees. My neighbor had the top of one of his trees snap off but luckily it landed in the street, not on his house. We ended up very lucky up here.

Mulletman · 09-19-2003, 02:03 PM

Allison

imagine Fairfax all the way to Baltimore under water... that happens more often here. the whole texas medical center, 25 major hospitals, underwater.

3 hours of sleep, no food, frayed nerves... strong woman. i would of hit the morphine a loooooong time ago!

SCOTTSMYMAN · 09-19-2003, 02:14 PM

Jen glad to hear you made it ok.

My prayers are still with you.

At least you have some power where you are! Hope you get home soon to some well deserved sleep

We did ok here. Nothing major just some small branches in the backyard. I'm pretty sure whatever we got we all slept through it!

JulieCitySlicker · 09-19-2003, 03:42 PM

Those are some very devastating pictures Mullet

JenRN · 09-19-2003, 04:38 PM

After I leave here today from work, I will enter the REAL hell zone, no telephone or power, so it will be several days I am sure before I am on here again!

JulieCitySlicker · 09-19-2003, 05:16 PM

That sucks Jen

I wish you the best girl and hope you can come back soon

Sheila63 · 09-19-2003, 09:35 PM

I'll miss you, Jen.

You take care of yourself, get some well deserved rest and come back when you can. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
