Okay, so as most of you know, Ernesto was a very wimpy storm. We are greatful that there wasn't any damage. However after all the time you spend putting up storm shutters and getting gas and standing in long lines for water, you wish that maybe there was a little"something". This is the back of our house with the storm shutters up. It was a very hot and humid day, and we spent most of it getting the shutters up.
This was the day of the storm. We decided to go to the beach and just take some pictures of Ernesto and all his glory. As you can see the beach was pretty windy but it was beautiful. It was funny to see people walking around and carrying on with everyday life, even though we were in the middle of a tropical storm turned tropical depression.
Another beach view. You can see the palm trees bending from the wind.
Here was our house the night before. Storm shutters up and parking cars in the garage.
We had storm shutters for all the windows but one, and that was our bedroom window. So we did they plywood thing. Adam got off at 1:00 because his office shut down to let everyone get ready for Ernesto. All things considered everything went fine. We were glad that we were prepared. We have a generator and food and flashlights and everything. It was nice to feel prepared. We may get lucky and not see one for the rest of hurricane season. We will see. I will tell you one thing though, I am so glad to be a member of the church. Our ward was so prepared. The Elders Quorum had a call down list to call everyone to make sure they were prepared, and it felt so nice to be a part of something so awesome. Everyone takes care of each other. Well, we hope our family in the North East will be okay. Ernesto is heading for you. Thank you for all of our friends and family who called to make sure we were okay...

Better to have done all the work and not needed it than to figure you wouldn't need it and wish you had done it. Glad it went easy on you. Aren't you glad that you weren't out there last year?
