Hurricane Helene Aftermath

 Hello Everyone, 

I want to start this post by thanking those who reached out to me. Last week Hurricane Helene did impact various states including here in South Carolina. 

Last week I had a bit of weird schedule due to coverage issues so I ended up doing a 4 hours shift til close Thursday. When I went to work late Thursday afternoon it was a mess outside. Flooding issues, winds, and heavy rain. After I got off the weather starting to get bad again. Thankfully I got work and back home safely.

Late Thursday night my power went out and trees were down. I was without power until Sunday mid-morning. Spoiled food, hot apartment, no phone, and lack of sleep I'm exhausted to say the least. I also had to go to work on Monday and Tuesday for 12.5 hours both days. The lights even went out at my job Tuesday in addition to no phone or internet. Thankfully it only lasted about hour without lights because it starting getting hot. 

I think I saw on the News that 1.3 million South Carolina residents were without (and still without power)

It's be a rough couple of days, but nonetheless I'm very fortunate and feel blessed.

Pilar, I'm so sorry that you were affected by the hurricane. Having no power or phone or internet for three days is hard. And you've had to work many hours lately. That is a lot of people without power in South Carolina, I'm so sorry to hear this. Hang in there, my friend, and take care and be safe. Thinking of you during this most difficult time.
