    Aw, thanks for thinking of me, friend! I’m okay, I’m okay! Irma was a ferocious beast, but my family and I were among the fortunate ones that only got hard and heavy wind and rain–no serious damages. Our power went out for about 1+ hrs last night. It came back sooner than expected, considering most people are still w/o power. Easing into my daily DB routine again! I’ve missed you! Oh, didn’t you say one of your relatives live in FL? Tampa, was it? Are THEY okay?

      Ah that is good… They are okay too.. they had to camp out at a high school one night because of fear of winds breaking the house, but thankfully nothing bad happened- to them or to the house..

      But I have seen the after-images of the wreck Irma brought and my heart goes out to the ones whose world was turned upside down.. I really hope the smaller islands also receive help..
      I missed you too! Was quite worried when I was watching those weather images of Tampa and Orlando being in the target area… I am so glad you are okay..

        Oh, thank goodness! I’m so glad to hear that! Good for them. I was surprised to find out that most of the shelters were actually schools, but I’m glad your relatives utilized them and was safe.

        Me too. I hope everyone are/will be able to receive the help they need to recover and get back to the closest thing to normalcy.

        Oh, we had our eyes and ears glued to the TV and tracked Irma’s every move. Thank you again so much for thinking of me!

          Thank you.. Yeah I guess schools are made from sturdier material than regular houses..

          The closest thing to normalcy- it’s sad that one can’t immediately (or ever) completely get back to pre-disaster selves..

            I can see that!
            My alma mater and the hs that my sisters currently attend was one of the shelters, so I was like, “Oh wow, cool.”

            Seriously. Especially if they’ve lost their homes, their belongings, and even loved ones. It’s very sad. Bless their hearts!
