I have been very tense about this storm thinking about all my friends on the island. So relieved. I know they can deal with what has happened and I am going to make plans for a return trip soon and spend some money down there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-29065233756172696542011-08-28T16:35:56.897-04:002011-08-28T16:35:56.897-04:00From: http://www.facebook.com/#!/OcracokeIsland

Here we go again, I guess. Anyway, our pastor spent several minutes speaking about all those in Irene's path and praying for each one as well as those will be there to assist in the restoration or power, etc. Everyone had Irene very much in our minds and on our hearts today. <br /><br />I have finally talked with my mother-in-law and she filled me with the news in the Beaufort county area, although I knew more than she did, in some ways. They had much damage, of course.<br /><br />The internet is a powerfully wonderful connection as long as folks have electricity.<br /><br />Surprisingly, I lost a pine tree, which pulled down one electrical line and then everything fell on my LP gas tank. It was scary until the local electrical co-op arrived to help. I live a long ways away from the coast.<br /><br />Fran, Agnes, Camille, Gloria and Floyd have been the worst hurricanes for me to go through and my heart goes out to all those who are trying to "pick up the pieces" and go forward.<br /><br />Life will return to a new normal...it just takes a lot of time and patience.<br /><br />Wish we had a carrier pigeon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-85982995056376452082011-08-28T14:07:26.989-04:002011-08-28T14:07:26.989-04:00:) & :)):) & :))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-57204143495677426522011-08-28T13:33:31.350-04:002011-08-28T13:33:31.350-04:00The radio station WOVV is now up and running.The radio station WOVV is now up and running.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-18071549528647215782011-08-28T13:21:07.204-04:002011-08-28T13:21:07.204-04:00Ditto from me!
