No sooner did we get power restored and our county partially cleaned up from Hurricane Charley then another hurricane came knocking on our door.
Hurricane Frances decided to grace us with her presence for 3 very long days during Labor Day Weekend. Although she wasn't a very strong hurricane, since she remained over us for 3 days
This is poor Shadow trying to do her thing in hurricane force winds..
Of course with Hurricane Charley still very fresh in our memory, the ex didn't even think about leaving me alone.
At this point however, I didn't care if he left or not. In fact, after the first day of us being couped up in the house and now having no power I asked him to go where ever he wished.
By the second day, I actually asked him to get me out of the house too, that's when I took these photos.
He didn't know that I was considering getting out of our marriage yet.
I remember when I got back to the house and he left, sitting there with the dogs and cats I liked being home without him.
Our building was still standing, but heavily damaged. We had lost the roof. We would be closed for at least a month, like other Beachside business's
I believe it actually took 3 weeks to restore power to the Beachside after Frances came through. Even if we could work in our office, we wouldn't have power.
Luckily we have 3 offices and I was able to work out of another one.
The ex wanted to do something with me to make up for the year before but after what I been through the last year and two major hurricanes he was the last person I wanted to be with on my birthday.
I wanted to go to Marineland and just spend the whole day there watching the dolphins, alone. What I didn't know until I got there was that Hurricane Frances also did heavy damage to Marineland and it was shut down.
I was halfway to St. Augustine, so I just continued north. I got myself some good ice cream there some cheapie jewelry and had a nice day.
Little did I know a third hurricane was on the way along with a relapse and my way out.

with continued winds and rain she caused more damage in our area then Hurricane Charley even thought about doing.

After seeing this street signal in the middle of US 1 and feeling the actual force of the winds, I didn't like not being home with the animals and asked him to take me back home.

I had not as of yet made up my mind though.
Once the storm was over, it was time for me to get out of the house and I went Beachside to check on our office.

Back at home, my birthday was coming up once again. I was still not celebrating it after the events of 9/11/01.
