Waiting for Irma – WPC
“Waiting’s exhausting.”

THE STORM
For the vast majority of time, life on a barrier island is idyllic. When one is waiting to see if a devastating Category 5 hurricane is heading your way, one wonders if perhaps there may have been a better choice of locale.
Count us among the Waiting for Hurricane Irma Evacuation orders, hoping not to get them.
WPC: Waiting
Since I had not seen a recent post from you, I started worrying again. From the above comments, it seems you came through OK. Hope the next one is less dangerous and frightening.
Linda, thanks so much for worrying about us! We did get a bit off schedule due to power outage, then cleanup and of course exploring the island to see what Irma had wrought! But all is well and Iām good to go for the next photo challenge! >
glad you are ok – and love the featured photo here – the verticals and whole mood – ahhhh
Love the photos ~ and hopefully, all will remain calm and well with you and great to know all is well.
Thanks Randall – it was nerve-racking to sit and wait for the storm to hit and then subside but we were very lucky it wasn’t much worse.
Super glad to know that all is well, Tina. Yes, the agonizing wait is perhaps worse than the event itself.
Take care, and best regards.
Thanks very much Mahesh – the wait, the storm, the recovery….quite a cycle! Could have been a great deal worse for us so thankfully life has returned to normal here!

just headed back to the island…. all is well…the angst whether here or away is great. Thank you for taking a seemingly calm photo of the ensuing storms……. Rudyard Kipling’s poem comes to mind….. “If”…
š Welcome back GF! All’s quiet here on the ocean front!
