OK, all the fun just went out of the remnants of Hurricane Bill.
I have lots of funnies to tell you about our vacation, and pics of the surging seas today,
but I am not feeling the funny.
A ten year old girl was swept off the rocks at Thunder Hole in Bar Harbor a few hours ago. Coast Guard choppers are out, and the Cutter is searching the shore.
All boats in the area have been asked to assist in the search.
I am sick.
God Bless that family.
This on the heels of a former islander's teenaged son's untimely death in a car accident a few days ago. Today is his Memorial service. Chris took a boatload of people over to the mainland to attend.
Is it wrong that I want to grab The Big Guy and kids inside, and lock the doors?
No. I'd want to hide in the house, too.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine the pain those families are going through.
ReplyDeleteEven though Bill didn't come all that close to Florida, two people died boogie-boarding in the ocean here.
I immediately thought of you up there in Maine when I saw that report on the news...I too wanted to grab my family and hide inside even though I am 45min from any coast line and here in Oregon we aren't usually affected by the hurricanes...my heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones though )~:
