It's over FINALLY!!!!!

JenRN · 09-22-2003, 11:18 AM

Well, as some of you know by now I was hit HARD by Isabel. I FINALLY got my power back on last night late, I was beginning to really hate being a "pioneer woman"

I came home from my 36 hour extravaganza at the hospital Friday night to here in my hometown to TOTAL DESTRUCTION!!!

My road was closed down, so I drove over the orange cones to get to my house:embarass: There were massive trees down, power lines all over the roads, people with trees through thier houses and caos everywhere. I learned to read by oil lamp and cook on the grill, waffles on the grill is VERY interesting LOL. The next day was clean up around here, we had 3, 75+foot trees down in our yard!!! Tree limbs all over the place and our cars had a blizzard of leaves all over them. At night all you could here were generators humming and during the day the haunting sounds of chainsaws EVERYWHERE!!!!!! My efforts in helping out with the downed trees was a hoot, needless to say. I got my feet caught up in vines in the yard and fell on my knees and face in the yard on top of one of the downed trees.:embarass: i messed my knee up pretty good! What a dumbass

I lost all the food in both freezers and fridge

I learned one of my favorite seafood places here in Virginia is now floating in the Chesapeake Bay

This is on record one of the worst hurricanes to hit Virginia in it's history!!! I am glad we did not have more destruction than we have now. When I saw the power trucks pull up here in town, I could of kissed the men driving them!!!!! More than half the state of Virgingia has been without power, thank god it is over!

Jen I'm soo glad you made it ok. I'm sorry to hear about your knee too! Just be happy that you are alive. Alot of worse things could have happened and you are still standing. Along with your house and your cars! That really sucks about all the trees and your favorite resturant! it sounds like it was pretty bad by you! I'm glad you got your power back and hopefully the clean up won't be so bad. God Bless you !!

JenRN · 09-22-2003, 11:54 AM

George Bush is coming here today to tour the "destruction" yes it was BAD, REALLY bad!!!!

It is pretty much impossible to see him, security is wickedly tight, I already looked into it!
