Oh the News images are just devastating. My Heart goes out to the people most effected by this storm. Families quite literally that were torn from each others arms in the storm. There is so much devastation.
Close friends of ours have family (parents and Aunts and Uncles) that did not evacuate. It is so hard just not knowing. The communications are non existant at this point. There is no way to know how they have weathered the storm. I remember the stressful period we had after Ivan with little or no communications. Being away from it is difficult the not knowing is probably harder than knowing because when you know what you are up against you can begin to cope. Without knowing all you have are What if's.
Yesterday we were without power for several hours. The Winds blew all day and some in the evening. It rained for most of Sunday night and the morning of Monday. Between 11:30ish and 6pm we had little rain but strong winds. Then in the evening/night rain bands came through again. Some bridges are out but it won't be too long before they are sured up and reopened. I10 bridge to Pensacola is out again but should reopen in a few days. We are sooo fortunate that we were spared the worst of the storm.
Trying to create a more normal day again. Today we did have school for a few hours. Talking about places in the world. We are studying Geography this year and so we created "Passports" today. We also talked about number lines and Ordinal and Cardinal numbers. Mostly still just reviewing and getting in the habit of school before our steady curriculm begins next week.
