Hurricane Irene #2

We did a lot of prep for Hurricane Irene--including taping our big windows

Thankfully it was unnecessary as we had no damage!

We are thankful to God for that!

Our neighbor lost about 1/2 of his big tree--Brad has helped him for a few days to

chainsaw it up and haul it away

We're glad it wasn't closer to their house!

One blessing that came out of the hurricane was additional time spent w/my mom

as she stayed here during the hurricane.

Here she and the kids are all smiles because it is all over now.

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,

 and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock

Matt. 7:25

Hurricane Irene

Thanks to all of you who prayed for us during Hurricane Irene

It came with fury from North Carolina and visited Delaware on it's way north

Although we were fortunate enough not to have suffered any damage,

others in our state are suffering from flooding, downed trees, lack of electricity and more.

I borrowed these pics from facebook to show a sampling of what it looks like here in DE today

All of the coastal areas were evacuated, and with good reason!

They also closed all of the roads last night at 10 pm for everyone's safety

A tornado touched down in Lewes damaging 15 or more homes

The above pic was taken in our state capitol of Dover

I have pictures that I took of our area that I will do another post on--but, I just

wanted to give you an idea of our surrounding area

We were fortunate to have my mom here with us-she lives in a mobile home and was

much safer here with us.

We feel blessed indeed to have had God's protection.

Below is a shot of Hurrican Irene entering Va before she made her way up here...

We could have had a very different experience indeed by the looks of it!

I hope that you and your families are safe as well.
