Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad we didn’t have to endure torrential downpours and seventy plus mile per hour winds, but after all the work preparing for the storm I was expecting a little more than the cool breeze and soft drizzle we had yesterday.
All in all, though, I am very pleased. We didn’t have to listen to the wind howl, board up our windows, or clean up felled tree limbs, we didn’t even lose power! What amuses me is how dramatically the storm veered from it’s projected course. Earlier it looked like the hurricane would sweep across the coast, maybe head straight down the center of the state, but at the last minute it took a turn and missed us.
I just picture Mathew (the hurricane) barreling towards Florida chanting, “I’m gonna get you! I’m gonna get you! I’m gonna get you!…Just kidding!”
