my computer isn't recognizing the shift key - a post-traumatic hurricane
syndrome i'm sure. we were without power for 3 full days. i'm over
hurricanes and ready to move to the frozen north again where firewood
and a woodstove can reasonably avert a crisis. we went out friday night
to discover that we had a tree down taking out a critical section of
fence. after the 80 mile/hr winds that we endured - at best guess -
since they were clocked that high after it passed through - we had to do
fence repair from midnight to 1 am. the horses were freaked out and
when we went out in daylight on saturday morning we understood why. the
fence had actually been hit in 3 locations and the pasture area of about
1-1 1/2 acres had at leat 7 large pines uprooted and an oak snapped
off. there were a number of trees in addition to those didn't hit the
ground, but are hung up in other trees. in short, it is a mess. i know
there are fjord people in geneva, florida, and i believe they may be in
even worse shape.
i am happy that chocko is in illinois with pat. our arab mare surely
would have warped his psyche since she was sure that the world was
coming to an end.
any other hurricane charlie reports??
