Once the eye of the storm was on us, it felt like the storm was over! It sat on us for probably 6 hours as the storm slowed and the eye started getting bigger. Then as it finally moved away we experienced the second half of the storm but it was no longer a hurricane, it was more like just a rainy windy day at that point.
We lost power on a Friday night at about 8:30 and then we got it back Sunday overnight in time to have power again for Monday. Well, they’re OK because of course we have the generator to run those things but without the AC going the humidity was just ridiculous in the house. LOL
After the hurricane, we unfortunately lost a large branch from our favorite avocado tree, which fell directly on the driveway. One of the banana trees with a bunch of bananas also toppled over, so we’ll be bringing those in, ready or not. As usual, there are a bunch of avocados scattered across the grass. I protected my basil plants, and they turned out great after the storm.
