I'm glad Q made it through also!!!  She should mention to her school command there about the need for flashlights in the barracks.  That wind was a force!!!!

Comment by Anna on September 19, 2020 at 5:16pm

Oleander,

Yes, she got power back and went back home. Yesterday she invited a friend and her young son to stay with her cause they didn't have power and they just live a few miles down the road from her. Haven't talked to her today about the fence and what she is doing about letting the dogs out!!! They are used to having their doggy door and going outside whenever they want.

RIP Notorious RBG!!!!!

Comment by Oleander on September 19, 2020 at 1:05pm

Thank you B'sNukeMom - she was a force and will be missed.

Ohhhh Anna I'm so sorry! So does Jenn have power back now? What a mess! Thank goodness she was able to get to a campground with power!

As you know our Q went thru Sally too. She woke up at 1:30 am with what she thought was constant thunder but instead was 105 mph wind gusts! No power of course and a failing cell phone battery because she used her phone's flashlight. (yes we've had a talk about putting together an emergency kit!) Scary stuff! She has power now and yesterday she took her 1st hot shower in 3 days - she was pretty excited about that.

I feel your mom-heart! So hard to hear the fear in their voice and be unable to help! I hope Jenn's life can return to "normal" very soon!

Comment by Anna on September 18, 2020 at 6:41pm

Well Ladies, things are starting to settle for Officer daughter Jenn.  She's in Pensacola and got slammed with Sally.  Damage at the house she rents, fencing down, shingles torn off, roof leaking, a little damage in her garage with stuff falling on her jeep, but all in all she is doing ok.  Worst things was all the time with no power.  Lucky for her she owns a small RV trailer and spent last night in it at a campground up north that had power.  She will loose most everything in the fridge and freezer but she's happy it wasn't worse.  Her office building however is right on the water on base and it is flooded and had water coming in the roof.  There is a mess to clean up there!!!!!

LadyBlueFire my daughter my daughter is a Nuke who's home port is Norfolk. Our Tiger Cruise was from Mayport to Norfolk. Loved every moment.  It was just the right amount of time to be on the ship.  Funny thing, we came in tje day of the solar eclipse. We live in the Louisville KY area. So while I was out of town everyone was traveling to Louisville as it was prime viewing for the event. We missed it in Norfolk but never regretted it.  

Comment by Oleander on September 5, 2020 at 12:55pm

Blondie --- how many degrees of separation are there??? That's crazy, I love it!

And LadyBluefire - your daughter is in Pensacola now too?

Q should be off quarantine tomorrow...and JayDee the weather's looking much better, I believe she has plans to go off base and see some of the area!

Comment by Anna on September 4, 2020 at 8:33pm

Blondie,

Good to see you here again!!!  

LadyBluefire,

When we were traveling we visited so many mountains - Washington, Wyoming, Montana, Oregon, California, Colorado, so many!!  Camped outside the Rocky Mountains! But those places were either too far west to be near the children or had too much snow.  The Smokies seemed like the best choice for us!!  What does your daughter do in P'cola??

Oleander,

I have such an interesting little story for you.  I told Jenn about Q's training and she knows exactly where your girl is!! After the shooting incident Jenn's crew moved into that building for a time being while the Navy was getting another building ready for them.  They had to be out by the spring because the other occupants needed all their space by then!!!!!
