Last years hurricanes have scarred me for life. I had nightmares about them for months. The nightmares are gone now, but the stress is still here.
I get headaches thinking about it. The stress last summer caused my menstrual cycles to be all out of whack, and they still are. Since last year I've been getting my period about every 60-65 days.

The hardest part is we have to evacuate our house and go to Justin's parent's house. We have to load up all the animals in their travel cages and take them with us.

After the hurricane is over we have to deal with being without power in some of the hottest weather I've ever experienced. It's so humid, muggy, and sticky after the hurricanes came through. There was no breeze at all for days. Everything was so very calm, which made it that much more uncomfortable. Last year after hurricane Charley we were with out power for 5 days, which for us that also means no running water because we have a well. After we got our power back we were still without a/c for 14 days because the outside unit broke.
