Irma

September 11 and 12, 2017
SK had to leave for an event, so the kids and I rode out tropical storm Irma together. It was a Monday and school had been cancelled for Monday and Tuesday. The track moving into Florida before heading our way lessened the damage here.
A Harry Potter marathon was planned. We lost power from noon to about 6pm, thankful it was such a short time. We played board games. Even tax receipts sorting by candle light.
The yard was covered in pine ones, branches, and leaves. The kids helped me clean the front yard. I started the back. Thankful a tree didn't fall completely.
Coco was funny. She would run from window to window. With every limb thump...she was on it. I guess she thought it was the biggest squirrel EVER!
It was devastating to watch the path go directly over our favorite oasis...Bahia Honda. The after photos broke our hearts, moving SJ to uncontrollable sobs. The poor people that lost everything.
