Over the past six years living on the east coast, 2 things always happen when a big Tropical Storm/Hurricane gets near....1) We come down to Wrightsville Beach to stay with the Rippy's..watch the storm...eat lots of food...play games..and tie up the boats on the pier etc. #2) Jim Cantore gets swept along the beach on the Weather Channel near Wilmington and every friend or relative we have ever met , calls to ask us if we are alive or not and when are they going to put us in a FEMA trailer.
I LOVE IT.
It is kind of scary due to the raw power of the ocean and a hurricane ...but there is something pretty fun about it as well Tonight we have had over 11 inches of rain and it's supposed to get to 15 inches. We have had gusts of wind tonight over 75mph. The ocean is super high at low tide (not good....when high tide comes and we get a 5 ft surge...piers,docks, and boats are toast) and having said all that....this is mild.
It's a good excuse to come down here and eat some local shrimp,okra, brussels, and cornbread.
We'll keep you posted!
Kim is still getting sick quite often, but she is being a real trooper. Cousin Timm came down 2 days ago with his www.roadtripmcdonalds.com crew and we had a good time. Youth group stuff started big last week and we had more kids there and in SS than I had ever seen.
To God be the Glory great things He hath done-
