I hope all You get is rain Gale. I know You said that things are dry up there right now. You were right about the wind, it is very scary, especially when it comes in at night. Most Hurricanes do hit at night for some reason.
They say that the SURGE was not as bad as they thought it would be, as the storm came in quickly and the eye moved through pretty fast. Thank God for that.
Now we have another one coming off the Coast of Africa and it looks like it may come this way. Can't wait till November when the Hurricane season ends.
Stay safe
