Good Riddance Matthew!!! electric back on and things are starting to

get back to normal, Messy but blessed.

Cannot tell you how scary this experience was.   How sad i am for those who suffered great loss and yet i feel so blessed and grateful at the same time.

thought i'd share some pics of our experience.



heading home to my neighborhood and we can see power lines down

street lights and signs were down in places

 nearing our home and the mess, scary driving down the street, worried a tree limb would fall on us.

roofing debris throughout

pulling in around the corner and terrified to see the damage 

so happy to see the old little block beach house standing!

 we lost some shingles and aluminum from the roof and here is the back yard

 a tree limb crashed in our window and knocked the board off
but our window survived it!

lost the food in fridge and freezer  But cleaned the fridge out which was much needed apparantly

 for days this was my fridge and we did our best and had fun trying to make recipes for one surviving steak, and 4 chicken breasts.

we stayed at La Quinta which is dog friendly God Bless Them!!!!! and when we returned w/o electricity, we couldnt let our Archie suffer so he had his own battery operated fan.

sighs of relief and so grateful
