@this is my nic

 

thank you for your reply!

You have a way with written words and your writing is so clear.  I read some of your posts this morning and realized that I hadn’t slowed down in order to fully comprehend what you were expressing, so I thank you again.

 

If you perceive any more dangers/restoration in N.C., your area, I’d like to know about what is happening there.❤️

 

So glad you were not “hit” or suffering.

Yes!  It's very NICE of her to ask about them.  I was one of those people a few years ago and I certainly appreciated knowing that people were concerned about me even though I didn't know for a little while due to no electricity.   Hoping all of our posters are safe and dry.  Love and prayers to all.

I am doing well.  We have a lot of rain still coming down and are expecting flooding. I am very grateful that I kept power. Seeing the destruction in other areas makes me hope that  lives and communities can be repaired quickly. My heart aches for the lives that have been lost.

Re: Updates: are the posters from Hurricane Florence area ok?

I hope everyone is okay.  We are so lucky where I am, but I'm so sorry for those who have been hit so hard, especially from the flooding.  I've been through several hurricanes worse than this one as far as wind damage, but what the flooding is doing now is horrific. Florence had put a bulls-eye on our area of Central NC, but the change in course to the SW saved us. 

 

We've had much rain since Thursday, sustained winds and gusts up to around 40-45 but have not lost power... yet.....  Everything is calming down except for the rain.  My outdoor feral kitties are all present and accounted for and don't seem to be upset.  I lashed their two outdoor shelters in the back to the wall of my house so they couldn't blow away, fixed up the entrance to their "kitty hotel" (small shed with more shelters in it), and strapped down their "feeding station" on my patio (made of plastic but protects them so they can eat when it rains or just sit under it). 

 

The radar shows the major rain bands now just spinning right over us, but at least it's moving.  This area is not called the "Southern part of Heaven" for nothing - Florence loves it so much she just doesn't want to leave!

Re: Updates: are the posters from Hurricane Florence area ok?

@LTT1 and all, it's always nice to know we're being thought of. We live in the piedmont area of NC and have heavy rains now and heavy winds earlier. Certainly nothing like the coast and inland.  There's no access to city of Wilmington now. Many areas have flooded. So much damage. The storm is not playing favorites as to where she hits, just some places much worse than others. My heart hurts for all those that have lost so much. Saddened by the loss of life. Thankful for all those helping those in need. It's bad, y'all.

@LTT1

 

Thank you very much for your kind words!  I will definitely keep everyone interested  informed.

 It's still raining in my area, north central NC.  We received a weather alert earlier that our county and many others were under a flash flood warning.  This just doesn't want to end!  So many people will be trying to get their lives back to normal.  I hope there will be lots of volunteers willing to provide assistance.

Southern part of heaven?  You must be in Chapel Hill! I'm in Mebane now, but used to live in Chapel Hill.   We did get lucky with Florence, but my heart breaks for those at the coast.  

BTW, my daughter takes care of a feral kitty family here in Mebane.  She was able to get many of them adopted!   I know you must have a huge heart to be so kind and a dwindling bank account!  Dd has spent so much on her feral family.   God chooses the right people to provide the love and care needed.  ❤️  Thank you!

We're in W NC and haven't had any flooding yet.  It's probably going to come, esp. Biltmore Village which is extremely low.
