Socialite Saturday

We had a Derecho last Friday night and our power was just restored. It was a crazy storm! Our neighborhood looked like a war zone. There were trees down everywhere, even the roads were blocked. The only way we could escape was by boat. I felt like we were the family Von Trapp from sound of music. We were refugees in Ocean City (I know this is a bit dramatic but this experience was traumatic).  Thank fully our home was not damaged but many people's were. It gave me a better appreciation of what people go through during a natural disaster.  Hope everyone is safe and sound in blog land.

  2. Hi Beth, it's Donna

    I know you said you were okay but, oh my, you can see how much damage there was in your neighborhood. I am so glad you were able to get in the boat and get to Ocean City.
    Glad that your electric has been restored and that you can be home now. I'm sure it was nice to be in OC, but not under these circumstances. Hope your neighbors all get their damage cleaned up soon.
