back home... post Irma
8 years ago
Well Irma was a real crazy storm... so much wind and rain.. it was really nuts.
I evacuated to Disney... stayed at pop century at cast rack rate... even brought my kitty, and had another local furfriend with me.
At first I wasn't sure just how bad it was gonna be... watching the news is one thing but being there in person... wow.
it was BAD!
Even in the steel and concrete building we felt and heard the wrath of the storm very clearly.. with winds over 100 mph it was extreme.
Getting up the next day and seeing all the damages really brought it home. so many trees down... signs bent over like nothing... even a lot of buildings with some form of damage... kinda surreal.
I came home and took stock of the damages and lucked out that some tree limbs came down... two large tree limbs snapped and are still hanging over the house... and my screen room lost all the screens. On the good side.. I never lost power it seems... and damages to my house are very minimal. Am I glad I evacuated.. you bet! Not knowing what to expect was more terrifying than anything and to be honest.. being comfortable and safe is well worth the money spent!
Especially when so many lost everything.... don't think a storm is something to ignore... it's not!

It's kind of weird Disney doesn't call all the cast members that live in t
the area close to them and offered the option to evacuate and bring your pets there but then again this is Disney sometimes they really don't care about certain cast members that help keep the parks running.
