The winds were constant above us for almost 5 hours. Luckily we managed to keep power, though it did go off a couple of time, but only for a matter of minutes each time. The winds were still very strong up until early evening the next day. The rest of the week was beautiful with hardly any breeze at all. We lost 3 days of our holiday, but at least we're here to tell the tale. My heart goes out to those people in the islands who lost everything xxKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212157352262803798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-76689597971122971492017-09-12T03:22:30.132+01:002017-09-12T03:22:30.132+01:00Pam, the message below was meant for you. ...

The evening was horrific as one might imagine. ..not being able to see; only hear the terror that surrounded us. While we were spared the full wrath we still have debris to tend to when we can get outside. It's also a time to catch up on sleep. Florida was spared mass casualties which is nothing. .NOTHING short of a modern day miracle. Thanks to everyone who sent thoughts but mostly prayers. Again, miracles were EVERYWHERE.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has been affected by this. I was watching tv yesterday with the roads blocked by traffic and wondering how I would cope in that situation. I'm hoping and praying that it burns itself out very soon as my relatives live in North Carolina which seems to be in the path of it. I hope that Jenny is safe and sound. Sending positive thoughts and prayers across the ocean to everyone over there .

We've been watching the news on and off throughout the day, we were on holiday near Naples a couple of years ago and can't believe that beautiful area could be hit by the hurricane. So frightening to be trapped and unable to do nothing but sit and wait and pray. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone. Jenny I hope you stay safe with your neighbour, I'm sure Barbara will let us know you are ok.<br />Love Diane xxx<br />Diane Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007431860077443115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-4560475108407390812017-09-10T21:12:36.689+01:002017-09-10T21:12:36.689+01:00Cannot imagine the unbelievable power of nature an...Cannot imagine the unbelievable power of nature and the fear of the unknown these people must be going through.

A few years ago we did a Caribbean cruise and visited some of the islands affected. I particularly liked St Maarten and enjoyed wandering around the little streets of the little port. Now those streets are destroyed. We have a charity in Cornwall called Shelterbox and they send volunteers out to places when disaster strikes and the boxes contain a tent,blankets, cooking utensils, water purifying tablets, some basic tools etc. At the moment they have people waiting in Panama to go where they are needed. I remember waiting to board a plane to the Dominican Republic and seeing 90 of the boxes being loaded on our plane for Haiti all those years ago. xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445320462038520797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-55431370928532321772017-09-10T20:27:26.024+01:002017-09-10T20:27:26.024+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10842269337215192924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-60023247096459484282017-09-10T20:25:33.931+01:002017-09-10T20:25:33.931+01:00Mexico also needs our positive thoughts, whilst th...Mexico also needs our positive thoughts, whilst they deal with the earthquake!
