My situation is no where near as bad as yours, but I'm in south Texas. The winds this year have been unreal. Enough that it's scared me on several occasions. I don't know what it is - well, I do, in actuality because I am a firm believer in climate change - but I never remember being fearful of wind before. We've had quite a lot of superficial damage, and it's frustrating to just have to sit back and watch things be destroyed.

Your situation is much more extreme, and I can only imagine the stress you are feeling. I mention mine only to express an inkling of understanding of what I'm sure you are going through, and how my (much less) situation has created stress for our household. So you must be climbing the walls, and rightfully so.

I am sorry. I hope you remain safe and sound with no damages. Take precautions and take care. Please keep us updated.
