Mother Nature is Not Being Nice

Tweet

Yesterday, a system passed through my state and the worst of the storm passed through my county. Lucky me and the many other thousands of residents! I was home alone when the storm got really bad. I seriously felt like I was in the midst of a tropical storm or typhoon. Many roads were blocked because of numerous downed trees and power lines. More than half of the residences and businesses in this one county were without power. Some streets were flooded. The power company has called in extra crews to help restore power, but they are estimating it will still take a few more days. Power outages in the summer months are not easy to deal with. Mother Nature has not been nice this summer. The flooding in West Virginia was terrible. Many homes and lives were lost. The cleanup will take weeks or months. Even though I'm a bit mad at Mother Nature, I feel blessed that I have power and the damage to outdoor items can be repaired or replaced. Photo credit: Public Domain photo Pixabay
