All of the traffic lights in our two counties are not working. Most if them were shredded.
That has been a nightmare for first responders. All day long yesterday and this morning have been filled with sirens from cop cars ..firetruck and ambulances flying down our street.
In Albany they had over 2400 intersections that were blocked by down trees or down telephones lines and Lee county is no better.
It is taking the power crews much longer since there are still huge trees across roads and on powerlines. We di have power crews from across the state and from other states here helping so that is a plus.
We have generators but many do not. We have run a power cord to our neighbors so they dont lose all of their food and are able to run fans to cool their home down.
God gave us a break. It's a beautiful sunny day today with temps in the low 70s. Wind is still slightly up so those out cutting up trees have to be carefulti since others will most likely fall.
When it was happening there was so much heavy pressure in the air it hurt our ears and the temps were in the high to mid 80s.
At times we thought our house was going to explode. For hours it raged and roared and we could hear things striking our home. It was only when daylight came that we saw what had happened.
WOW how terrifying. Everyone around the globe is rallying for you all in Florida and the East Coast. So glad you and your family are now safe.
