    You're right about the internet and phone reception. Our area wasn't hit as hard,but....I think just the location we were in,in concordance with the hurricane, our internet and phones were really messed up. I couldn't use a weather app or other apps. I had to come to RUclips, but, when I came to RUclips some videos would play and some would not. And they told us to stay inside the first day. So, even though we weren't hit as badly, there are roads closed and challenges getting to others we want to help. It's heartbreaking 💔

In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hailstorms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power. He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast. {GC 589.3} Amen!

    I’m down the road in Lyons. My mom has a large brick home with no trees around so quite a few family and friends stayed with her the night of the storm. I decided I’d tough it out at my house being as she already had so many. I have about 60 large pines surrounding my house. When the 1st one fell on the house, I got nervous and started gathering some stuff up. When the second hit the house, I made up my mind is was gonna make the six block trip to my moms just as soon as there was the slightest break in the weather. The 3rd wasn’t a fallen tree, it was the top 30 ft of a 100 ft pine that broke off and finally punctured my roof causing a 3’ diameter hole in my ceiling . With water pouring in and in complete darkness, I grabbed my stuff and my dog and headed to my mom’s. my driveway is lined with shrubs down both sides so it’s one way in and one way out and of course you would know that there was another pine laid across my driveway so I was essentially stuck. So instead of being stuck, I just said that I’d get a running start and drive straight over my shrubs into my front yard and make it out the best I could that way. made it within one block of my mom‘s house when I come up on a tree blocking the rest of the way there. There were powerlines everywhere and getting out and making a run for the rest of the way was not an option. So I decided I would turn it back around and head back to the house. well by then all roads to my house were blocked completely off. I found a small little concrete blocked Church with an eve over it and pulled up under there and me and my dog got out and tucked up in the corner of two brick walls and sat there and watched the stormfor the next 2 1/2 hours. I was finally able to get back to my house about 830 the next morning. It was the absolute longest night of my life, but we’re alive and that’s all that matters.
