Often, I think about the hungry children. I thought about them during hurricane Irene. For two days, I had no lights, no phone, and I was about to loose all of the food in my freezer. At least, I had Ginger Snaps and cold hush puppies with cold slaw to eat. I am nervous of using matches to light gas stoves. It was just too hot to use the stove. I had no air-condition or an electric fan because their was no power.
As I looked outside, I thought about homes being lost and maybe even stores. Just imagine having nothing. Trees damaged a lot of homes, cars, and telephone poles. Water damaged homes and cars also. I know of one person that had a fire during the storm because of maybe an electric problem. Her and her family could have lost their lives if their gas tank would have exploded. They lost their shed. Their homes were surrounded by water, but they were blessed that the water did not go into their houses. It's a sad time for everyone.
Well, I was blessed. The storm made me think about all of the big trees I need to cut down and some other things I need to get rid of. There is always work to be done.
