In addition to the county helping, The Southern Baptist Convention Disaster Relief people have been here for days with chain saws, a big John Deere tractor and lots of helpers to give a lending hand.
I very much want to thank my local police department who kept our town safe through this disaster there was no looting. And an even bigger thank you to my electric company Coastal Electric Cooperative who had our electricity on by Sunday at 5pm. Our friend who lives 40 miles inland and has a different electric company didn't get his back on until Tuesday evening.
Our internet and tv came on the same time as our electricity and our landline was back on by midday Monday. What a fantastic job! Water took a bit longer as there was a broken water main.
What's left for us is the backyard. Mostly cleanup, but there are two BIG trees that are criss-crossed in midair and they have to come down.

| The criss-cross trees, probably about 60 feet high, they will have to come down |

| Fell on the deck, hit the window, but didn't break it |

| I'm amazed how this tree was torn up, but the statue wasn't touched. |
I "feel" every one of those photos! So glad you, too, had minimal damage and are safe. Those power company guys get s lot of kudos from us, too. They worked around the clock in dangerous conditions to do what they could. Today we saw trucks from Sevierville, TN going up the coast to assist and we have had National Guard assistance, too.

ReplyDeleteIt's great to hear how everyone is pulling together. It's such a shame that so many trees have come down but it could have been a whole lot worse.

Thank you for your emergency list. I've saved it in Word. You never know when you might be faced with a disaster. I live in Missouri and we have tornados.
