Hurricane Omar

Hurricane Omar passed to the east of us late last night. The outer bands of the hurricane hit us beginning around 11. By 4 all was quiet and I could finally sleep. We had power throughout the whole storm. The only damage to our house is part of the wall by our driveway has collapsed and one of our downspouts was sheared off. I took some pictures and will post them once I get our house back in order. As far as Jay could tell there was not any damage to the job site. We are going to head up to school this afternoon and see how the school fared.

The worst part of the storm was how loud it was. The wind was whipping between the kids room and the main room. There were a few booms which we think was the wall collapsing and the gutter falling off. The hard part was that since the storm passed at night you could only wait until sunrise to see what happend. Both Jay and I were up for the sunrise.

On a side note, the kids were in the pool today at 6:58 pulling out the patio furniture.

Thanks to everyone for your prayers and emails!
