Glad minimal damage though. </p> <p>They are saying it will take a week to get 90% of the issues resolved. Very thankful the three kids are sleeping in the car on my way to the parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615548 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 20:39:27 +0000 Amorini 2615548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: oh sheesh! Sorry to hear that, but glad that you have somewhere to go.</p> <p>@babypugs: Wild that the water came in that way. Sorry to hear about the water damage. I'd probably start by calling a roofer and getting them to refer to the right contractor(s). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615546 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 20:31:33 +0000 babypugs 2615546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: That's wild! Hope it comes back soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615545 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 20:30:29 +0000 babypugs 2615545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope everyone is staying safe! I think the worst of it has passed here. No major issues but we somehow had water blow in from the side ridges into our attic to slightly stain our bedroom ceiling. I honestly don't even know what kind of service contractor to call for that issue!!! Could be worse, but darn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615542 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 20:22:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2615542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amorini: we ditched town. Still no power! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615491 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 17:49:36 +0000 Amorini 2615491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got power back! I'm so grateful. Hope you ladies get power back soon! And hoping that it doesn't get too ugly for folks up the coast.</p> <p>This was a good practice hurricane for us...well, it was a tropical storm by the time it arrived in our area. I have a mental list for what to prepare for next time. </p> <p>Now it's time (for DH) to clean up the yard! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615396 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 13:00:19 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2615396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amorini: @pinkb: over 80,000 residents without power. They are just now clearing roads. Estimates are saying it could be days 😭 I don't even know what to think.</p> <p>Thankfully the inside temp isn't terrible with it being overcast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615391 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 12:51:51 +0000 Amorini 2615391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No power here either! Lots of branches down and the worst hasn't passed yet apparently. @T.H.O.U.: @pinkb: Hope the power comes back for all of us soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615220 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 08:12:36 +0000 pinkb 2615220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We lost power at 9 last night came back at 3am so we could get a bit of comfortable sleep. Its out again now as of 8 am with an ETA of 5pm restoration :( I am at work and DD is at school but DH is home with DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615204 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 07:07:24 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2615204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daylight.</p> <p>Lots of branches down. One large pine tree took out the swing set. Thankfully it fell that way instead of toward the back of the house. </p> <p>Still no power </p> [attach=1506/16/ocvlod.450x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615188 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 04:45:44 +0000 agold 2615188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I hope you are feeling okay and fish your power is back on now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615187 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 04:15:23 +0000 Amorini 2615187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Glad it's passed you now! It's been raining on and off all night, but definitely storming hard now. DH left for work (gulp!) which is south of here and toward the eye.</p> <p>ETA: hope you get power back soon!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615186 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 04:08:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2615186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: thank you! She's doing great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615185 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 04:07:54 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2615185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amorini: good luck! </p> <p>It's 5 am here and the main storm is past us and into GA now. Moving about 14 mph. Always thankful when it doesn't stall. </p> <p>We lost power around 11 pm. I have a freezer full of post partum freezer meals I really don't want to loose.</p> <p>My oldest daughter woke up in darkness and was screaming that she was trapped. Poor thing couldn't find the door to get out of her room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615145 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 21:29:46 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2615145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Didn't see that you had the baby, congrats !! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615114 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 20:31:28 +0000 Amorini 2615114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Thanks for starting the party! I'm in Savannah and Hermine is headed our way. Reports are confusing about when it will hit here. I've read both 3 am and 2 pm tomorrow. </p> <p>I'm a bit keyed up and just a little pregnant (almost 36w) so those two things play into each other for sure. We moved from the west coast and so we are used to earthquake country, not hurricane country! Everyone around us is super laid back and say "it's just a Category 1!" Then why are all the schools and public offices closed?! </p> <p>DH says I should stay home... I just didn't prepare my day for working from home so I guess I will see what it looks like tomorrow morning! I'm hoping DH stays home because his job is a lot farther from home and it would worry me if he got stuck and couldn't come back, you know... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615087 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 20:01:02 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2615087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rain is hitting! Baby is milk drunk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2615015 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 18:22:16 +0000 psw27 2615015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: my mom said the same! She's more worried about tornados at this point! I guess the storm is heading our way over the weekend - I'm in Boston but more worried about her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2614994 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 18:05:05 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2614994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: it should be here overnight basically. Which always makes it scarier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2614992 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 18:04:27 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2614992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: my brother in Tampa said it's barely been raining today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2614991 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 18:02:47 +0000 mediagirl 2614991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: yeah. Thankfully the neighbor said the water has never come up to the bodies, even during Fran. Phew! Still, there's been a lot of building since then so who knows what will happen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2614962 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 16:48:03 +0000 Miss Ariel 2614962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjd: thank you! It's definitely been a crazy few weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2614959 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 16:43:35 +0000 ModernDayJibarita 2614959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: Same. He are flying to NJ tomorrow to spend LBW wth our BFFs in Wildwood. It seems it's gonna rain most of Saturday and Sunday but I hope there isn't any flooding. I'm definitively gonna stop to grab some food in case we are stuck inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2614957 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 16:41:32 +0000 BSB 2614957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I know you just bought the house, so I'm picking your brain on home buying. Would an inspector noticed if there were any signs flooding? Could you ask a neighbor how far the water might come up? Hope your house stays safe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2614955 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 16:40:10 +0000 mrsjd 2614955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Ariel: Given that we are in New Orleans we were very fortunate to escape damage, but I saw your story and I'm so so very sorry at the loss you and your family experienced. I'm not from LA but we've had several coworkers impacted and it's tough stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2614954 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 16:39:29 +0000 BSB 2614954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: When will you guys be affected? I actually thought it was already close to NJ. I was asking my family if they were affected. I guess if it didn't get you yet, they have a little bit of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2614952 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 16:36:33 +0000 Miss Ariel 2614952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjd: I'm with you! As sorry as I am Florida is dealing with the storm I can't even imagine dealing with it here in Louisana. There's already so much debris and trash everywhere on the roadside I can only imagine what extra wind would do to all of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2614916 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 15:42:59 +0000 raspberries 2614916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: We have an outdoor wedding to go to on the Cape this weekend. :meh: Hope they have one heck of a sturdy tent to put up for the reception! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2614907 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 15:25:02 +0000 psw27 2614907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sending lots of dry and safe thoughts to all of you in Florida! My mom is in the Tampa area riding it out as well... I'm a bit nervous for her but I know it will be okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hurricane-hermine-party#post-2614903 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 15:17:22 +0000 catlady 2614903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope you all stay safe!</p> <p>We're in New England so I shouldn't even be worrying about this except that we planned Labor Day in Nantucket and now I don't know if it is going to rain and storm the entire time we are there. Not a great time to visit a tiny island while pregnant, with a toddler, no car, and nothing to do all weekend stuck inside (plus the ferry rides are going to be interesting). </p>
