It's been a while since I've had a chance to write any entries into this log, since I have been out of the country for most of August and part of September. We finally got to take that vacation of our own after seeing to the many guests we've had here on the Outer Banks. Unfortunately hurricane season has haunted us at every turn and we are just plain weary of it. Not only for worrying about our homes here and the potential threat to them, but to our many, many friends we have in Florida. Of course our vacation travels took us south, right into the path of several of these storms. We have seen many sobering things and reminders of the power of a hurricane's fury in the past month. My heart is heavy for the many who have suffered damage at the hands of Charley, Frances, and Ivan.
The sheer force of the storm surge and its ensuing devastation along the Florida/Alabama coastline is truly unbelievable and heartbreaking. While we did not see the devastation along the Panhandle first hand, we have seen pictures and can definitely empathize with the good folks who live there.
