Last night was the longest night.
The storms were ferocious and the rain sounded like hail all night long. The power went out several times, tornados were everywhere, and something hit my parents house in the middle of the night. Dad thought it was the flag pole but Old Glory is still flying so we aren’t sure what it was. And around 2am I woke up to my curtains whipping around my bed. I didn’t have my windows locked and the wind actually pushed them open.
My mom’s school is on a 2 hour delay so the county can clean the streets before the buses head out.
Our animals are terrified. Last night, Mom found Jack on the front porch, crying. Wolf barked all night long.
I’m working in Piedmont again. Right beside the Saluda River which has quite a bit of water. Eeeek.
Sigh. If this is just a small taste of the remnants of Ivan, I can’t imagine what the full force must have been like.
