These pictures should be handed out to the people that say it can't happen here because it never has.<br />My husband was nailing plywood over windows so we could stay during Hurricane Opal while I was packing our most important pictures and papers. I was ready to leave when he finally decided he would come with us which delayed our departure almost 2 hours and our trip went from 5 hours to almost 15 hours since the sheriff in the next county blocked the interstate to allow his people to evacuate. any long and awful stories there too. We were blessed with little damage other than having the power out for over a week, trees down, fence down and roof messed up. Our sitting on a back road as Opal passed over was scary, but they decided being on the interstate was too dangerous. were had made it into feeder bands rather than the dense center of the storm. Your pictures might help people like my husband whose mantra was we have never left before and we have been okay. Weather doesn't care what happened before.stitchinpennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341867288910993051noreply@blogger.com
