Nick & Liv survey the neighborhood as Fay makes her way out of Southwest Florida.
To quote my youngest two, “Storms STINK!” We’ve been without power since about 5:30a, listening to the howling wind and rain is only entertaining for so long…we’ve run through three Olivia the Pig stories, two games of Candy Land, one game of Uno, and the battery is dead on the portable DVD player. Now they’re both running through the house singing, “Fay, fay go away. Come again some other day.” I don’t believe they honestly want Fay to come again another day. Oh Florida Power and Light….where are you? Please come to our rescue soon!
The battery on the laptop is getting low and my palm is not especially fond of being a modem so I will cut this short. Suffice it to say we are all just fine and hoping (ok, begging) FPL will restore service to the 12,000+ people without power very soon!
*Update* At approximately 5:45p I saw a glorious sight, a line of tree cutters & FPL trucks drove by our home…within minutes our power was restored! Yippee! School resumes tomorrow and I will return to the office and try to play catch up. Ahh, AIR CONDITIONING…

I’m glad you’re ok and life is getting back to normal. This is a great photo and I love the processing–very film-y!
Oh, I remember those days all too well! Former Melbourne, FL & New Orleans girl here. Glad that all are well and that the power is back! Beautiful image.
So glad to hear you guys made it through the storm unscathed. This image is so telling of the moment you captured it in. I love the aged feel you’ve given it too. Really nicely done!
Yeah, storms stink! We got married in Naples Florida 13 years ago, fortunately, not during hurricane season.
