We had our first direct hit from a hurricane in several years this past July! We had a sleepover at Gramma and Grampa's which was fun the first night! We stayed up playing cards waiting for the storm to blow in. The next morning it finally arrived and it was impressive! The wind blew harder than I've ever experienced and it rained for a straight 18+ hours! We lost power shortly after the storm began and then life became miserable. Three days of no electricity, no air conditioning in 90 degree weather, no hot showers, no tv, and a very grumpy, colicky, sticky baby to care for! I felt like I was homeless. Me and my children bounced from friend to friend (they had regained power) just to have a few hours of air conditioning for naps. Although we are very thankful that there were no injuries, it literally was the 3 most miserable days of my life! We definitely take modern conveniences for granted!
Boog-a-dee Boo's did not fare so well. We figured that a tornado had to have hit that area because the entire roof was peeled off and it was a downpour inside the bar. Thanks goodness for insurance. We sustained approximately $100,000 worth of damage and it took weeks to get a roofer in to fix the roof. Needless to say, it kept raining inside until it was fixed. Then the demolition and remodeling began of the inside. If I do say so myself, it turned out beautiful!!!
