So we survived the hurricane.
Like Ryan does best he slept through most of it.
Although there really wasn't much to sleep through. We are about 3 hours inland and all we got was some rain and some wind. Most of it occurred overnight and we never even saw it. I wondered how the forest was going to fare but it actually created a little shelter from the wind. When we were walking the trails we could barely feel any wind at all. All it did was break off a few measly branches.
To protect the pool furniture from blowing away they stacked it and dumped it in the pool! It worked, I guess.
Our power went off for about 2 hours and to pass the time we started playing Ticket To Ride with Mitch and Maile. They got hooked and we played 4 games, ordered pizza, and spent a total of 7 hours on their porch. I love having neighbors. :)
We actually had worse weather yesterday than we had with the hurricane. There were two different times at work that I got the "Weather Emergency" text message and we were required to go to the basement for tornado warnings. So far this year NC has had tornadoes (on multiple occasions), a hurricane and an earthquake! I don't see this state surviving the storms of the second coming...
You had an earthquake?
