Fay
For a couple of days we have felt the affects of Tropical Storm Fay. We live in West Central Georgia between Atlanta and Columbus. We have had constant rain and gusty wind for two days now. I am not complaining though it could be a lot worse. Florida and South Georgia have suffered much more than we have.
Yesterday I could not shake the feeling a tree was about to fall. I had reason to be nervous about the trees, as several have fallen before during storms. Right after dinner, I took Coca, one of our dogs out. I tried to take her to a second driveway at the edge of the woods. She absolutely refused to go that way and instead pulled me in the opposite direction. A few seconds later, a huge pine fell in the area where we would have been standing. I think my heart stopped when I heard that tree fall. I am so thankful that Coca did not listen to me, that she took us to a safe place. She got a treat and lots of hugs and kisses for being smarter than her owner is.
