[RC] Alive in the panhandle - Mary Maynard

Well we survived our first hurricane. it was about a catagory 2 where we live in Holt FL ; the winds were about 100 miles an hour for about 5 hours or more. Holt is less then 100 miles from where it landed on the gulf. The very day we finished moving into our new home we boarded up the windows and waited. It was very scary night. I woke up to fifity or more trees down on our property. It looks like a bomb went off. Some just missed the house by a breath. Today we have no power and don't expect it back on for about three weeks. The barn lost it's roof and the house needs a new roof. And our home in Niceville lost shingles but otherwise is fine - it has power!!. The lot we own in Niceville lost the car port; it blew to the far end of the property and is upside down.

BUT we are fine ( well I am pretty tuckered out ) and the horses did great in a BIG pasture with fly masks on. They are standing in about a foot of water but we will work on our fence this weekend so we can move them to dryer land. Now we have work to do to clean up - lots of it. I sure hope I find time to ride or I may lose my sanity. Thanks for your concern for us, we pulled thru.

Becoming a true blue Flordian..now I have Ivan stories!!!
Mary Anne Maynard and family
