Aw man, I am behind in reading my blogs. I’m so sorry you and your town went through this. Dang.

I think our Pacific NW storms should be called “Holy Molies” because that’s what I think when that old cedar outside my bedroom window goes all horizontal.

Can you hear the forecasters now? “We’ve got a Holy Moley bearing down on us”

That would certainly be accurate! Interesting note: for the first time in history, the National Weather Service used the word “hurricane” to describe a storm in the temperate zone. And while they didn’t call it a “hurricane” they did describe the winds as “hurricane force”–which is a first. Even they were in need of vocabulary. ~W

Oh my heavens…the wreckage is awful. I was talking to my mother last night and neither of us were even aware of what was going on in your world…I was telling her about your email…I am so very sorry, and am breathing a sigh of relief…but, My heart goes out to you…I wish I was there to help you clean up…or re-roof…although, I was cleaning up the shop after our lovely rain yesterday…more of my ceiling has fallen in. A small devastation compared to yours indeed.

You know, any damage to your building suffers is still a loss. It’s never easy to deal with that sort of thing. I’ve heard rumor of your rain–I hope you’re drying out soon! ~W

So, life is getting back to normal? I like the Thank You in the window also. I hope this is the only storm of the winter for you!

You know, that would be lovely. Personally, I think this storm should set us up for 10 years… but uh, that’s kinda wishful thinking, eh? ~W

I’m happy everyone is okay. I was thinking about your family and sending good vibes. You said your roof sustained damage, but … how did the tangy porch fare?

As usual, you took some great photos. Like Marie, my favorite is the “Thank You” in the window. Good people always show up and come through for their neighbors.

We are ok, as is my tangy porch. However, my roof is another matter. OOF and DAH! ~W

My Gosh! I’m so sad that the little piece of Heaven called the Oregon Coast had to get hammered. But, ya know, it really is a place where everyone is neighbors and friends. It’s amazing how everyone comes out to help each other and that warms my heart. I’ll be praying for everyone out there to get through this time of reconstruction and healing.

I’m sure your prayers are much appreciated in these parts! ~W

The photos tell the story, Wende. All battered and bruised, we pick ourselves up and jump in with both feet to make sense of it all. Glad to see those out and about today!

Oh, Renee, I do hope LaDeDog did ok! ~W

Oh my goodness! I’m glad that y’all are doing ok…wow. I read the candle “storm” post, and didn’t think much more of it… The pictures of the “Thank You” windows are my favorite. For a community to not only rally together, but show appreciation for each other is really beautiful. I’m praying for you and your neighbors!

Heh, that’s ok. Mark works for IZ and didn’t think anything of his boss missing for 4 days. I’ve never been delusional about being missed.

Oh, take care Wende. You are all in my thoughts.
