The great tag project ... round 2: calm

This tag features the word calm.

As I mentioned earlier, I live in SW Florida! Sunday, September 10, 2017, was quite an eventful day because the eye of Hurricane Irma passed DIRECTLY. ABOVE. OUR. HOUSE.

Anyone who lives in hurricane-prone areas knows how busy people are in the days and hours leading up to the arrival. Once all of the preparations are complete, there's almost a feeling of peace surrounding everyone. This is a photo of our house taken the day before. It’s a good thing that I had this photo, because we used it to document the condition of our roof prior to Irma’s visit.

Peace … as shown by the Tim Holtz word tag. Once all of the preparations are complete, you just sit and wait. Peacefully. Calmly.

Once the storm starts (and yes, we did stay in our house), you can hear the wind whistling and feel the intensity of the rain. We are fortunate to have hurricane-rated windows, so we were able to go from room to room to see what was happening!

None of my other tags have something on the back, but this one deserved something since there are two sides to a storm. There is almost always a calm before the storm. You can see the ripped screens on our lanai as well as the large oak tree that fell in our front yard. We are quite fortunate that it didn’t drop in the other direction.

The question asks if anyone could imagine what the storm would do, and it’s always a guessing game.  Where it is going to go. What it’s going to do. What will be the damage?

Be sure to come back tomorrow to see the next tag!
