My son works for a company that cleans up storm-damaged properties once they put in claims through their insurance firms. His bags are packed and he is waiting to be called. They told him that they don't know if they will be sending him to the Outer Banks or to Cape Cod depending on the path that the hurricane takes. My brother has a vacation home in Kill Devil Hills but has his permanent residence in NY. My son is grateful for the work but of course feels the pain for anyone who has to deal with the devastation that these storms can bring. As a Mom, I am hoping that he doesn't get called at all so that he is not in any danger himself and so that no one has to face such troubles. I'll definitely be praying that it all blows off into the ocean.
