Well, we continue making preparations for Wilma. After church, Jonathan and Tim went around town, helping church members board up their homes. I spent the afternoon collecting our framed photographs, scrapbooks, photo albums, and important documents and putting them into plastic tubs for safe keeping. I've ironed our clothes for the week and set up Hannah's Pack 'N Play in our bedroom. There's not much more you can do. Whatever the outcome, we know that God is in control.
Last year during the very active hurricane season that sent several major storms across Florida, we did experience some damage, but the damage and inconveniences were minor in light of the recent Katrina fiasco. During Frances, one of our pine trees in the backyard fell, taking out our electricity, cable, and phone lines. Because the tree uprooted as well, it burst our water main. So, five days later, and long after our neighbors were enjoying electricity, we were still calling Clewiston Utilities on the hour. We faired well during Jeanne only having to clean up debris and roof shingles. One thing is for sure, I am thrilled that I am not 9 months pregnant this time around!!!
