Stormmetal v. Florence
7 years ago
I live in North Carolina.
I survived...
Well, to be honest. I wasn't really even there when it hit.
I was in Pittsburgh and obviously not for what most would think. After all that was 2 months in the past or 10 months in the future, depending on your temporal trajectory. ;)
No this was for a conference for web people. Planed and paid for by my place of business in advance. There was no way to know I'd miss this storm.
Now getting to the conference was easy, getting home through the maelstrom, was Hell.
This flight canceled, that flight cancelled. Finally getting re-routed...
Of course while this is all going on I am using the miracle of social media and keeping up with every bit of data from home I could acquire. Didn't help to alieve any anxiety at all.
Because of a re-routed flight I had to get picked up to get a ride home to where I was supposed to go. Thanks to some very good furs for that assistance.
I come home to what I expected. No power, rain, wet, an exhausted mate and a relatively hot an humid evening.
We got power this afternoon (Monday 17th September 2018) and after we got everything on or to=do list done. (Find open laudromat to do clothes. find open store to get more cat food, find something to eat and discover/avoid road closures due to fallen trees and washouts)
Now is time for a nap.
Yes, the Stormwolf survived, but was not there to face the storm itself. But now it's time to clean up the mess.
