Falling trees were such an issue, parts of the state were not used to those types of sustained winds and trees were literally weeded out.

Where I was, because of where I was..that hurricane fricked with me more than any other hurricane has. Falling trees hitting the house, vehicles, having to chainsaw through multiple trees to clear roads, no power and extended family everywhere.

Ugh..

I do miss the SO I had at the time though. We turned that situation into our own hot little apocalypse.

That was a monumentally miserable two weeks. The two most vivid memories I have are the poison ivy rash I had all over me from cleaning up debris which made a horrible situation even worse, and the first time we ate a real meal once the restaurants started opening up again after eating crackers and peanut butter for 2 weeks. Everybody in Albasha's on Bluebonnet was eating like they had been in the desert for a month. You could actually hear people groaning "Mmmm" after taking a bite of food. Everybody was laughing; "It's SO GOOD, isn't it?"
