Well, Hurricane Ivan is history, and now it's time to pick up the peices it has left scattered about. A lot of damage was done here in the Florida panhandle; downed powerlines, phones out, mile long lines at the only functioning gas pumps, felled trees, wrecked property, etc. It was hot as hell on the days the power was out around my house. It just came back up tonight, ergo, I'm writing this post. We live not far from the Sheriffs office, and I'm certain that's why our neighborhood has all the necessities up and running. We could be down for weeks like others who weren't so fortunate. I'm thankful for the fact that we as a community can once again begin reshaping our lives. Thank God for all the people who have helped those who needed it with water, ice, food, power and first aid. Air conditioning is a godsend, and you just don't realize how much we take for granted until you no longer have it.
A special prayer goes out to those who lost family and friends in this disaster. We could have been as unfortunate, all I had happen was a lot of trees and clean-up to take care of around my place. May everyone who has been affected by this storm soon have peace in their lives.
