Thanks everyone that sent good wishes.
We were directly in Irene's path here. Out of all of the counties in Maryland -- ST. Mary's was the only one in a hurricane warning vs a tropical storm. It was a rough night. I think I slept two hours and had to work at 8:00am the next day. Horses were safe, we were safe.
Only lost power for less than 24 hours, although the second day I got a hotel room just because I can't survive without a shower, or power nonetheless. We lost a few trees on the property, horses were hardly phased. Lots to clean up after, but considering we were so lucky!
Some in the area didn't recover power until 6 days later, lost homes due to trees down, etc. A few deaths.
We were so fortunate. Especially since I live in an area VERY heavily wooded with trees all around us.
Thanks again for good thoughts.
I hope those affected recover quickly.
On another note, the earthquake in VA.. literally almost knocked me off my feet in Southern MD.. it's been some rough times lately.. and the wildfire in VA swamp.. we had smoke down here for over a week from it.
