Finally have power at my house, so I've moved back home from my son, Jon's, house. The town got a lot of wind and rain, so lots of flooding, and lots of trees down. The Lord protected my home, only a few windows broken, and one of my cats apparently went out the window. Unfortunately, it was my lynx Siamese who was a rescue and VERY shy, so really don't have any hopes of finding him. I've looked throughout the house, and my "mama kitty" is sleeping in her normal place, but no sign of him, and I've checked for several days.
My mom's home (a double-wide manufactured home) is just fine, and I returned her home 2 days ago once we found her home was undamaged, she had power and cable TV. She only sits and watches the game-show network all day, and wanted to go home, and she's doing well.
All other children and their homes just fine. It was a real miracle of God. Just as the eye was reaching our County, it completely disapated! Who's ever heard of that happening?! So, we got the 70-100 mph winds, but no "eye" to deal with. I praise God for his blessings on my family and their homes. I'm the only one that had any damage, and it's just a couple of windows to repair, so I'm VERY blessed indeed.
Thank you all for your prayers. Now comes the yard clean-up and emptying a refrigerator that has been closed up for about 5 days with no electric. Can't wait to open that door~
Again, thank you all so much for the prayers. They certainly did work!!
