Carport Kitty settled on a mat at the bottom of our kitchen steps to weather the disastrous Hurricane Ian this week – our home in West Columbia, South Carolina was spared the devastation our neighbors in the low country of the state experienced for the past two days – we are two hours inland from Charleston. We realize we dodged a dangerous bullet by a few twists and turns on the large weather map that showed the destinations Ian reached; for that Pretty and I are immensely grateful.
This morning CPK shared her space with ?
Bully Cat who gave me a stare
The costs of catastrophic weather events like Hurricane Ian are immeasurable today in the losses of lives and property, these costs will linger in the memories of so many people for all their tomorrows. To anyone who struggles to rebuild and restore their dreams for themselves and their children, whether from a blow from nature or a blow from another personal loss or disappointment, I hope you will find your own mat to weather the storm like Carport Kitty did. Maybe you can even comfort someone else.

Stay safe, stay sane and please stay tuned.

Great to hear that CPK, and hence all of you, were safe from Ian. Deeply scary. Here but by the grace of whatever. xAx

I’m relieved to hear you are safe from the worst effects. Strangely, in my part of Pennsylvania, we were hoping for rain from the hurricane to break our drought. We got a little drizzle, which helps … but … I don’t wish such devastation on anyone.
Carport Kitty and Bully Cat appreciate sharing a port in the storm. Maybe they’ve worked out their differences.

I saw Ian was moving in your direction and wondered if you would feel the effects. Wish we could have sent you some of our rain yesterday!!
Sorry for the drought – could you possibly blame Dr. Oz?

Hah! I’m happy to blame Dr. Oz for any misfortune our state faces.
By the way, the rain finally drifted over. It’s a nice, steady, gentle rain. I wish so many others didn’t have to suffer.
