Wowser is all i can say been a rough/interesting 5 days. Finally got power back this afternoon. Bldg I work out of has roughly 4 foot of standing water in it as of this afternoon. The county is split by the Neuse River. River finally crested this afternoon and hopefully will take the extra water with it when it drops. Seeing the destruction and devastation on T.V. doesn't do it justice. Tried posting a link but if you google a combination of Neuse River and Wayne county North Carolina that is my neck of the woods. It's bad is all I can say. Thankful that the family and I are all safe and didn't have any damage. In the big scheme of things losing power for 5 days is minor. I will admit when I came and saw the thread had to start over in a new one it was a bit gut wrenching because that is what a lot of the people here are facing. Hope everyone here is doing well. Haven't done a readback and not sure it will happen at this point. I know I had some tags but can't seem to retrieve them for some reason. If it was anything specific please re-tag, if it was offers of support or sympathy I greatly thank you. Wife is doing good and no twins yet. 8 days to go tomorrow.
All I can say is WOW. My husband and I are in South Carolina. And compared to you,we were blessed! And I totally understand how you feel about your situation being minor compared to the severe devastation millions are experiencing. God is good. We lost power for just under 2 days and we have several down trees on the property. As well as some flooding. But blessed so blessed. It is absolutely horrific what took place for many people. And no you're right the news doesn't do it justice. I'm grateful we are safe and that y'all are too. My prayers are continually with the many who have had their lives upheaved. And congratulations to you and your wife! Prayers for a healthy,safe delivery!!
God bless,
Glory
