After the Hurricane

The weather guys were right in that Hurricane Florence is big and slow.  Here in Hillsborough we remained right on the outer edge.  Because LUCKILY, the hurricane took a dip south that protected us.

Last night it poured ~ Amy's dog, Loki, jumped on me twice out of a nice sound sleep to tell me he wanted to go outside.  So I get up and take him out.  He looks at the pouring rain and turned around and went back inside.  Not happy.

Here is what half an inch of water looks like.  I am so glad that Florence passed us by.  

Amy went to Tryon, NC for the World Equestrian Games and is evidently having a ball.  The weather has been fantastic and she has seen and gotten her photo with her most favorite riders.  I just met a neighbor who had friends that were coming from Canada to go to the WEG and bailed because of the hurricane.  It appears that the storm is slow moving enough that when Amy is ready to leave that she can drive north and skirt the storm all the way home.  So, cross your fingers.

Amy and her friend Ursula

Jane is in Ohio with her friend India.  They could have stayed at school ~ but I guess better safe than sorry.

Well, time to walk the dog.  

Love,
