Dorian part 2 or is it 3?

Dorian started yesterday evening with rain bands but this morning is when the storms hit. There have been numerous tornadoes in our area. Round 2 is happening now. Heavy rain bands are coming in and when Dorian finally gets here…around 8 pm tonight, we are surely in for another pounding. The weathermen said no river flooding when this began but now the Waccamaw River will flood. Many people lost their homes last year with Hurricane Florence and the floods she brought. Enough is enough! Our power went out but thank God during the afternoon lull, the men or women who worked on it, got it up and running again. Praying that it stays on tonight. I don’t want to go through this in the dark. Anyway, just a quick update before writing my usual New Testament journal blog. Pray for us all here at the coast of SC and the ones in NC as well. It could be worse, thank God it isn’t as bad as the Bahamas. Please continue to keep them in your prayers as well. They have a long, long road ahead of them. In Christ, Cindy

DORIAN…

As the saying goes…waiting on a hurricane is like being stalked by a turtle! It is the TRUTH! So much preparation even when it’s not a direct hit. Making sure you have water, and food, and cat food, and the clothes are washed and the house is clean. Making sure you pack the freezers with plenty of ice to keep the food cold longer in case of power outages. Take photos of all of your possessions, and on and on and on…next is the yard! Bring in anything that might crash through a window and hurt someone, like garden flag poles, garden decor. My hubby has to take the swing down and hide it among the bushes so we don’t have a disaster with it flying. Tomorrow we will close up our shutters and zip tie them shut and pray the wind doesn’t break a window and blow them open! It is really dark in the house when they are closed like that, ah it just makes it more EEEEERY when that wind starts howling! Then the siding rattles and moans and it’s continuous. I feel like the house will blow apart at any moment. Of course I get a bit dramatic with it. Love to go live on FB and say not much of anything haha, just because I am bored. Anyway, I got Jesus, he’s got me and in the end when it’s all over, I will open up the shutters and praise God for the beauty of another day surviving a hurricane. Since we moved here, seems like it’s one year after another of storms! I am not sure why we still stick around here, but I do love the people and the area on off season! Well, I love the people all the time HA! The area, NOT so much! I thank you Jesus for the friends and family I have made here, and the life my husband and I have here. It’s because of my move here that I found you again, and this time, I got you, and you got me, hallelujah! If I have any power the rest of the week I will continue with my New Testament blog, if we lose power, I’ll be back as soon as IT is! Please keep the Bahamas in your prayers and keep the entire East coast in your prayers as well. Have a beautiful and blessed day y’all! BYE!!!
