    I’m sorry you have to experience that mess. Hopefully Jacob can get home and help with the clean up. If you have a wet vacuum you should try to get the water out of the basement. With all of your health issues, you don’t want to get mold and breathe that in. Take care of yourself through all of this.

      I’d get a dehumidifier immediately and put fans to blow down there. I’m so sorry for the people affected by this. The only thing happened me in Georgia. I had one of my trees break off. And crushed my fence. I’m so thankful. Feel really bad for everyone and I’m praying. 🙏🏼

    Oh my goodness! Glad to see you made it through the storm. As long as I have power, I have DVDs. When the power goes out, I have books. Welcome to the South. Make this a learning experience. I learned awhile back (when there was a foot of water in my basement and no power) to always have cash and gas on hand. (I have food for years) Keep the faith Miss Jenny, you're doing well.

    Hang in there, Jenny. You got this. I hope you can show the world via UA-cam how this once beautiful community rebuilds after such a horrible disaster. You have already shown what happens in the early stages & viewers will learn from it & hopefully put their survival kits together & disaster plans in action. Because diasters of epic proportions can happen anywhere, anytime. Its how we bounce back that shows what we are made of & makes us stronger. 💐

    Jenn grab a simple landline phone at goodwill or something and keep one simple landline service at the house. In an emergency you should be able to always use a simple landline phone. Even if the power is out. Typically a landline would be underground and the last thing to go out. My mom in Seattle does this in the case of an earthquake she can still try to call out on a landline.

    Hey Jen! Glad you're okay! I watched Jacob's video about this yesterday. I'm from Greene County, TN.. dealing with all the collapsed bridges and we have NO running water til who knows when. I didn't have phone service for 72 hours. We got lucky and kept our power/internet, although it did go out a few times. We live up on a hill so we aren't too close to the flooding. I'm just glad you and Jacob are safe. So good to see your face and hear your voice again!

    Oh, boy, could you get the shop vac and suck up the standing water in the basement into the utility sink? All that wet stuff will develop mold quickly. Do you have fans to run in the basement? Anything that got wet is basically a loss. So sorry you had to deal with this alone. All of your issues with this storm have provided valuable lessons on how to prepare for things in the future. Don't assume this won't happen again.

    Oh Jenny! Jacob's channel sent me. I live in South Louisiana and we're always getting peppered with storms. Take it from me, get yourself a Nintendo DS Lite. They're not expensive, they have an enormous battery life, they don't need the internet, and they're backlit so they can be played in the dark. The games for the most part are very affordable. Something for you to do in a storm after the power goes out!

    You guys might want to check how the house is graded on the side of the house that flooded. You might need to mound up that side and build a swail to get the water to flow away from it at best, at worst you'll have to have a drain installed.

  • @MichelleLWhitney
    @MichelleLWhitney 3 місяці тому

    So glad you made it through! As people with chronic illnesses, we definitely need a preparedness plan. I can only imagine how the stresses of this, lack of sleep, and the weather changes of the hurricane itself have affected your energy levels.
    Definitely get battery or crank-operated radio for future. That would keep you informed as to what’s going on in your area if the power/cell towers/internet go down again. A stocked pantry can be a lifesaver too. A full tank of gas and cash before a hurricane is always a good idea as you’ve unfortunately learned the hard way.
    Happy end to disaster preparedness month, I guess?! Ready.gov has a list on how to build a preparedness kit for next time so you have less stress getting through the next disaster. Hang in there!!!
