Today's your day. Note the card. It's in the mail:)
AND....
We still have power and no downed trees. So far we have been very lucky. There have been nearly twenty fatalities in the Carolinas from Florence. In North Carolina there are huge pockets of flooding, it's still raining (though it's closer to moving through) and the rivers haven't crested yet. Travelers are being asked to avoid the entire state.
UPDATE: The sun is shining! The rain has stopped! And I saw butterflies. We may get a little more but, except for cresting rivers, the worst is over. We have been very lucky, especially compared to those in other areas of N and SC.

A very happy birthday to Jacob.
And I would welcome your rain.
Happy Birthday to Jacob. The weather's crazy again, we could do with rain! Hugs, Valerie
You don't want our rain.
Some world wide weather moderation would be nice wouldn't it?
You bet.
You don't want ours:) It's crazy indeed.
Stay safe. Hugs.
Thanks, EC:)
Heard about the weather in The Carolinas Sandra, Glad it's not that bad where you are. Take care.
Yvonne.
Hope a happy birthday is had. Awful what the storm did, good you were spared though.
Yeah, our area is a mess. (We're all right though.) Florence sucks and she can just get the heck out of Dodge.
I can't believe the route they are telling people to take to avoid NC - all the way into TN and down through Atlanta. But I-95 is impassable right now and so are a lot of other roads.
Happy Birthday Jacob 🎂🎁🎈
Hurricanes, a terrible thing happening in our country and super typhoons across the oceans. Global warming is a reality and I also believe that God is a bit pissed with mankind's hatred of his fellow man ☮✌
Hugs Sandra 🍁💮🍂
Happy birthday, Jacob.
And stay safe.
Happy Birthday to Jacob. I've been watching the news coverage of Florence. So scary. Glad that you are safe. Florence is coming north and will bring some tropical downpours to my house on Tuesday.
My power stayed on the whole time, but our storm wasn't bad. Mild strong winds, drizzle rain
Thankfully the worst is over.
Me too, Yvonne. We have been very lucky. So many deaths and homes lost.
Hi Sandra - glad all is well. Happy birthday to Jacob and glad that card is in the post - hope it escapes the rain ... take care - Hilary
Yes, yes and yes, Pat;)
guyz...we iz bee yond buzzed happee yur all safe N sound N we hope de sun shinez for dayz ta come ~~~~~~~~ ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Glad you are okay, Alex. Are you near any rivers or lakes?
It's stunning isn't it. On the late evacuations, my thoughts were where are people supposed to go and how do they get there?
Global warming is indeed a reality and if we don't get a handle on it immediately it's going to be too late.
And, unfortunately, we do seem to have taken hatred to a new level.
Hugs
Thank you, Jamie:)
Watching this from the other side of the country, we could only pray. Then go to American Red Cross site to donate.
Thank you, CJ:)
I hope it has geared way down by Tuesday.
I'm relieved to hear you didn't get smacked, Adam.
For us I think it is. I am concerned for those that live near the rivers.
Heh. I thought about the card getting drenched too, Hilary.
Sunshine sounds like a wonderful wish to me, FSG. Thank you.
The prayers and blood donation are much appreciated, Susan.
I'm glad you came through unscathed. Hurricanes (called "cyclones" down this way are terrifying. To be in their path is not fun. I've experienced a couple when I was living in the northern areas of this state in which I live.
Happy Birthday Jacob! I am so happy for the good news around in your area! I hope it changes for all the other people soon!! Big Hugs Sandra!!! Please take care!
Happy Birthday to Jacob and hope it was a good one. I’m so happy that you did not get the full wrath of the hurricane and that you didn’t lose power.my heart goes to the people who have lost their lives, homes, pets...it is just very sad.
Happy birthday to Jacob and thanks for checking in. I have been SO worried about you and RO. Keep us in the loop, please. You really WERE lucky. I've seen the devastation and can't begin to imagine the loss.
Killers for sure. Mother nature is on a tear.
I hope it changes soon too, Stacy. Many areas of NC are still under water and now the tornadoes are sweeping through the states. And it sounds like other areas of the world are getting smacked too. Yikes.
On a better note....Happy Birthday.
Thanks, Birgit. We were VERY lucky. More so than millions. I'm hoping the water recedes quickly and they can get their lives back. Thanks for your concern.
Hugs
Thank you so much for your concern, Elizabeth. I've been thinking about Ro too.
You're right. We were very lucky.
I am so glad to hear that you are all right and no damage. I hope it stays that way. Do take care, no matter what.
And birthday wishes to Jacob!
Birthday wishes to Jacob.
All the best Jan
