Anyway, Mommy realized it was starting to rain and she told Auntie B she would drive her back to her car so she didn't have to walk in the rain. We all got into the elevator to head to the car when Mommy realized she had forgotten the car keys. So, she went back to the apartment to get them and realized they should not go anywhere. She told Auntie B they would be staying put.
It was dark as night outside and the wind was incredible. You can't see how the trees were bending over in this photo, but they were. In fact, a few trees were uprooted at the apartment building. Plus, we watched furniture fly off of balconies. It was wild.
Auntie B waited for the storm to pass before going home. We drove her to her car and realized the damage across the street at the restaurants. All the outdoor furniture had been blown around. The umbrellas were all tangled. Crazy.
Auntie B made it home OK, but she called Mommy to say that several big trees were down and there was localized flooding. She also said she didn't have power (and she doesn't live that far from us). She didn't get power until the following morning.
Mommy also learned that Jack did not have power either. They didn't get power until late in the day yesterday.
It is time for the rain to go away!
