However when cyclones are announced or not announced as was the case a couple of months ago, or storm gates aren't opened which causes 50cm of flood water to go through downstairs. Its scary but as you said it good to have the comfort of having stranger show caring and family to help you get through and some great creative people who create stories so I can escape my reality but also learn life lessons at the same time. By the way just started reading The Diamond Secret and oh my Cullen and Esther's interaction classic.

Right now its a storm of emotions and memories which are hitting with such force today that I am struggling to control them. I hate this feeling.<br /><br />Here we have thunderstorms at times, and rain but nothing else really. Oh there have been mini tornados but they are nothing like in america. Not in a flood zone etc. I do hear we are at the end of a earthquake.

As you know I grew up right across the river from New Orleans and as a chaild I rode out a lot of these with my family and it was always scary, though mom did her best to keep us distracted with games and such. I still have a lot of family down there and I've been checking in with them preety regular this week and although they are without power and are dealing with flooded streets, the are otherwise okay.Winnie Griggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295070748234710260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-53986259931941765212012-08-31T11:28:39.340-07:002012-08-31T11:28:39.340-07:00Oh, I wondered--do you use the weather a lot in yo...Oh, I wondered--do you use the weather a lot in your books, Craftie Ladies???Lenorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201614257423264316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-15283664562971208372012-08-31T11:27:43.408-07:002012-08-31T11:27:43.408-07:00Ellen, I love Padre Island in Texas.

Tracy S, I've been through a few tornadoes. Once one took every chinaberry tree around our house (big, old trees)and left our old farmhouse. Merrillee, you are in a lovely area but I know the storms come your way a lot, too.

During the first one, neighbors were watching our cat and house. During the second storm, my brother-in-law and my hubby's aunt were there to keep tabs on my mother-in-law who was in the nursing home. We had no damage, but my brother-in-law was in a panic because the pool was about to overflow. But all turned out well. I always way I'm not too attached to my things. I hope that's true.Merrilleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617320163408645299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-18015000231948499302012-08-31T07:50:37.216-07:002012-08-31T07:50:37.216-07:00I am in WI.

Many houses were destroyed, but PTL no lives were lost. My sister was blessed to only have to replace their roof and siding, but less than a 1/4 mile away, houses were completely destroyed. Lives were not lost b/c the tornado came at 9pm--so people were still awake and able to get to shelter. I shutter to think if it had come 3 hours later.<br /><br />Tracy Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06538902832996197236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-10215696900291568372012-08-31T07:18:43.167-07:002012-08-31T07:18:43.167-07:00I live on the Texas Gulf Coast and have been throu...I live on the Texas Gulf Coast and have been through several hurricanes but none with as much damage at New Orleans gets.

So glad to hear you're weathering the storm. <br /><br />I'm blessed up north that storms are seldom life-threatening. As a child, I loved thunderstorms until I saw <i>The Wizard of Oz</i>. After that, I kept looking for a tornado to swoop down and carry us away, and I knew I wouldn't end up in Oz. :-) <br /><br />My scariest moment happened when the plane I was on caught fire in the ventilation system. The cabin got so hot the plastic was melting, and we could barely breathe. The fabulous flight crew extinguished the fire and got us back on the ground in minutes, but I'll never forget that moment when I realized I might be meeting God very soon. Prayer brought incredible calm. I could feel His presence, telling me everything would be all right. I cannot imagine dealing with such a thing not knowing our Lord and Savior. I pray He is with everyone during these tough days in the wake of Hurricane Isaac.Christine Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037185957390220266noreply@blogger.com
