Scary stuff! So glad no one got hurt. Lets see here … wouldn’t a tall glass of cold sweet ice tea been MORE beneficial as a wake up drink🤔 vs. a hot coffee🙄. Then you wouldn’t of had to use the gas generator. B-) :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: Let's see if you have a comeback for that one, Yohanan! Just shout if you need help 😉 There's iced-coffee too..... :yes: 😉 :rose: How scary Yohanan! 🙁 :bible :amen: What power of God to seek and save His own! Is there damage to your home much?? True 🤔 I reckon Yohanan could of drove to the nearest Starbucks to get an iced-coffee … but then … I heard thru the grapevine all the barista got fired! Ya, no barista to make any hot/iced coffee because … they kept showing up for work in …tea-shirts. B-) Glad you are safe Yohanan, We had a storm line move through on Wednesday, the rotation was about three blocks from me. We stayed for 30 min in our “tornado” room watching it pass on the local weather via iPad. Just heavy wind damage with tree limbs down. The crazy thing is that we are not a tornado prone area. The weather patterns have certainly changed. The temps are unseasonably hot for us, that makes the water along the coast very warm and therefore making it a great draw for hurricanes, they are saying we will have 5 major hurricanes in the Atlantic this season and it is beginning to take on ominous feel. It really is time to go home :prayer-hands: So Geri, my dear sister — I have coffee “bags” similar to a tea bag for the worse case scenario. I just heat up the water and dip the coffee bag in and yeah — I coffee in no time. Believe me when I say I have plenty of ways to hear coffee if there is no electricity available and I even have one of those old fashion coffee percolators that I can sit on an open fire….. I am a camper, so got the gear….. :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: Oh Geri... :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: A gas generator is one of three way I have to make coffee. It’s just the most convenient 😎☕️ Exactly! Tea only drinkers don’t understand how serious we coffee lovers are! The power is still not back on and yet I am sipping my second cup of hot, delicious, aromatic java! Mmmmmmmmmmm Yohanan it is kind of fun to sit around without electricity (for a while anyway), and to the Little House on the Prairie pretending. They had coffee back in that day too…. :mdrmdr: When I traveled in Belarus years ago I experienced my first cup of espresso— well as much as I love coffee, that was a bit much. I gave one of my Folgers coffee bags to a Belarusian and his statement (after letting it steep for 20 min) was that it was very weak for espresso :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: I took my first cup of the day to the garden this morning, to sit and watched the tomatoes grow :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr:

We're so glad you're safe - what a close call.
