As most of you know we have been dealing with Tropical Storm Fay for the past few days...it's the storm that keeps on giving unfortunately. Many of you have called to make sure we are okay and I really appreciate it! We had some major rain (probably about 8-10 inches) yesterday morning and evening and today all day and quite a bit of wind (max sustained around 40mph with gusts in the 50's) but overall nothing to bad. Because Fay came on shore here in our county we actually got a small break in the rain and wind yesterday afternoon...until the backside of the storm started coming through. No damage to the house but our yard is a mess with debris! Some streets in the neighborhood are flooded but ours is okay and we can come and go without any problem. Poor Eric (and mommy) missed school on Thursday due to the storm. The schools will be opening Monday though so back to normal then. Eric has not enjoyed being stuck in the house that is for sure. We finally braved it and went out this evening to visit a friend and he had a blast. His attitude was much improved for the rest of the evening! :)
The video isn't during the time when the winds were at their highest but you can still get an idea of what it was like. I actually loved laying in bed at night and listening to the wind...very calming. Of course it if had gotten much worse I probably wouldn't have been calmed by it. :) These pictures are from yesterday so the debris has only gotten worse. As one of the pictures shows the sprinkler system for our neighbor was not turned off and it was running right during the storm...just thought it was funny to see someone watering their lawn during a tropical storm! :)
