Tropical Storm Claudette Damage

@CarolDM Hope we all remain safe this hurricane season.

Seems like it has arrived once again.

@DianneN I do as well.

It happens every year sadly.

@Nevena83 Everyone cannot be protected from mother nature. Some have shelters they can get in, if they have time. Others are caught off guard without knowing the storm is coming, and often have nowhere to go.

@CarolDM That's really sad. Does that mean that there is no special way to protect people?

@CarolDM Thank you, so much.

@popciclecold You are very welcome.

So happy to hear from you and to know that you are safe.

@CarolDM I agree about floods. I will never ever be able to replace what I lost. It was very freaky experience. The water came in so fast that my couch floated up and the firemen had to get me out through the window because too much water at the door and all 4 basement apartments were flooded. The only good thing was that my parents had a laundry/dry cleaning business and my clothes could be saved but lost a lot that I cannot replace and where I moved to one night I had a nightmare that there was water again but nothing when I went to open the door. I was up high so could not get to me. It was an experience one does not forget. Anyone that lost their home in the storm will never forget it. It is so hard to rebuild a life again and especially a house again I am sure.

@Hannihar So sorry for your loss during the floods. Glad you survived.

Yes they can be very powerful storms. Floods are horrible as well.

I saw that, good luck to all.

@DocAndersen

@CarolDM ithat is the best thought for all!

Thank you! Me too.

@sophie09 Thanks

@CarolDM this will be on my prayer too of course

@CarolDM So how do people cope up with this season? Do many folks move somewhere else?

I suppose so, not in my area. They usually do evacuate. This is the starting of hurricane season.

I hope so too.

It is the season sadly.

@CarolDM That would be nice.

Thanks for that, I hope for no more tornadoes.

Yes and this was a tropical depression, not a hurricane.

@CarolDM I hope no tornadoes. We have rain now and Sunday just came in. Goodnight for me now. See you later.

@thelme55

It is covering several states with lots of rain, I hope for no more tornadoes.

Hope so too.

@CarolDM

I hope so too.

@CarolDM

Yes it is horrible the devastation left behind.

We will see when it is over.

So far only a few tornadoes. Hope it goes away soon.

I hope so too.

Indeed.

We are fine thanks.
