Had a good laugh with some of these but it must have been tough. It’s times like these that make you truly appreciate what we usually take for granted.I have never had to deal with hurricanes because I live in Arizona. We don’t deal with hurricanes or tornadoes.I don’t know what its like but I can only imagine.I Hope everyone can recover out there.
ROFLOL!
Yeah, “TV is an addiction and the withdrawal symptoms are painful,” and “you can’t train yourself not to flip on light switches when entering a room” are definitely universal truths. We don’t have hurricanes here in Indiana, but we have the power outages from tornadoes, floods, and blizzards. The power can be off for a couple of weeks, and I’ll still hit that light switch, both ways, every time – LOL!
“Ice is a form of currency” brought back summers of my youth spent touring with the Grateful Dead. When everybody lives in a campground, ice, or anything frozen or cold, for that matter, is worth more than money, more than cigarettes, almost more than it’s weight in gold!
“Got lights yet?” and “neighbors are much more sociable when your trees are being removed from their houses,” absolutely cracked me up! Good for you for getting through this difficult situation with humor. I’m sure that made it easier on your kids.
Hope things are getting cleaned up there, and everybody’s okay. Bright blessings.
I’ve been through 3 hurricanes in the past 5 years.
I can relate, I like your post!
ROFLMAO OMG These were funny. I will forward these on to my contact at the NWS to give them a good laugh as well.
