It's hard to go back and think about the emotions I was feeling. Then again, I remember it well enough to know that it was a miserably cold time, with so much destruction, that I don't want to experience it ever again! Reflecting on that experience, and being pregnant now, I simply cannot imagine what we would have done with an infant. Gotten a hotel room? Who knows. That kind of thing
didn't enter my head then, but I imagine God will change a lot of my perceptions and outlooks now. It was 39 degrees in our home. I remember having on more layers than I thought possible. We even slept in our subzero sleeping bags, but under the normal bedding. All four pets slept on the bed surrounding us too. The sounds of the night were like a war zone and you just kept praying that it didn't damage the house. The house two doors down caught fire in the middle of the night due to the weather head issue. Definitely a scary time and one that I am thankful hasn't reoccured!
I'm with you! I don't ever want to deal with that again...ever:)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it has been a year already. Last year an ice storm and this year tornadoes. Gotta love the weather here!
ReplyDeleteThat ice storm was miserable! I had to go to the gym to take a shower, etc. I about had it with seeing old, naked women walking around after water aerobics. It was a little more than I cared to see! :)
