This isn't my first hurricane but this one is large an a lot of rain. Me, my daughter and dog went to my parents, my husband is the safety office at the hospital so he is earning his keep this weekend. We went to my parents because our house sometimes gets cut office because of flooding on the roadways. And my parents rarely lose power so I like all the comforts of home. I appreciate all the prayers for everyone affected.
