It was the Mom & Sister and Husband of our friends. They even accepted our pup Barney and loved him to pieces also. Their cooking took most of the anxiety out of not being at home. We ate like we were going to jail the next morning.

We headed back when we found out the power on my street had come back on but it was out when we got home. We saw some heartbreaking things with people who have several years on us. We understand they had been without electric for about 7 or 8 days. Heres to hoping for the best for our Northern neighbors.
Really enjoy hearing about your stories and experiences, Nucky. I NOTHING but join you in your for all affected by this storm. My brother who weathered out Irma in West Palm Beach last year, just moved to Atlanta this year. Although I'm not too worried about him, I know they may feel some impact from this one.
