This is my first post in over a week. We got electricity and phone back Tuesday and internet today. We have major tree damage in our yard. About twenty five foot of an oak tree is laying in our front yard, much debris from pecan tree and a row of wax myrtle trees in laying on the ground. But we had nothing hit the house. Our shingles are still on the roof. In the community where I live in NC, there was major flooding. My neighbors belongings line the sides of the road. Windows and front doors are open trying to dry out the houses. My best friend got 15 inches of water. My husband's sister got 9 1/2. People are devastated. Much prayer is needed. The Salvation Army has a station in every community in our county where they are feeding folks. I grew up here, but this is the worst I have ever seen. Houses here that have never been flooded got flooded in this storm. Some folks lost house and cars. Some have no insurance. Please everyone, if you are a praying person pray for those who have suffered loss in this storm. I am very thankful that there was no loss of life where I live, just property. By the way, our generator would run the small wall air conditioner in the garage where my cats sleep. They were so cool while we sweated with the ceiling fans. Sorry for the long post. I just wanted to update and ask prayer for those who need it.
