Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

Oldiesmann: So sorry for your loss Carol. Praying for you and your family :( 2022-05-01, 17:13:05

Carol: My husband Don is with the angels.....Our family was able to hold  ourselves together for the last moments.  Juar rhoufhr you might want to know. 2022-04-29, 23:35:15

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

Well I finally decided to look at the photos I took during Irene. Up to this point I really hadn't wanted to see them.

The calm before the storm, Friday afternoon.

Don, how heartbreaking this all must have been - and still is, I'm sure.  :'( Thank you for sharing, difficult as it must be.

Thank you for sharing.  I'm praying.

Don, I'm so very, very sorry.  Reminds me so much of Hurricane Hazel back in 1954 which devastated our area around Toronto.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the support everyone. I appreciate it.

Pat I remember Hazel, I was only three and about all I remember is all the trees that came down. Guess I wouldn't have remembered that if it hadn't been for the fact that my Dad had just given me a Red Flyer wagon and a big old oak tree fell right across it. Broke my heart. I'm just thankful that these didn't come down across my house. These are from my front yard.

Problem was that the ground got so wet. The trees all came down in probably the last two hours of the storm. We got seventeen inches of rain Saturday. I have a video of that big oak coming down. I shot it with my Sony F707 camera. It's not  as good as a video  camera but it was all I had. I will try to get it uploaded to youtube and post a link.

We live in an area where there is very little topsoil and the trees exist just over the bedrock. I have seen giant trees come down.... so devastating!!
To see what happened to your ferns helps us to understand what you are facing.... Love & many prayers are being offered up for you!!

Pat

Don, this is just unbelievable.  I'm truly sorry.

(Wish your photos were larger) ;)

Re Hazel, it's not common at all for our area to experience hurricanes and Hazel jumped over the coastal mountains in the USA and came right on up.  My brother was playing football for our high school and they just played on right to the end of the game as they didn't have a clue that a hurricane was happening and not just rain!  My grannies house basement was flooded and water coming out as the sump pump was overworked and I lost a girlfriend whose house was washed down the Don River down our street.
