Just added to my website! I’m donating anything I make from this print AND the ornament version to the United Way of Central Florida for Hurricane Relief! @uwcf 

Ordering will be open from now until October 20th then I will process all the orders the more I can order at once the bigger discount I will get and I’m going to try to work with my vendors on this too! 

Even if you can’t order you can make a huge difference just by sharing this post!

Since I went to my parents to ride the hurricane out this is how I know I never lost power. I walked back on this afternoon and it was on. 

If I had lost power for too long of a time the ice would have melted and the quarter would refrozen lower and I would know to throw everything out in my fridge. #hurricanetip
Lots of trees down but every major tree had a crew working on it already. We are starting to gather reports from friends closer to the coast and so far it’s all “minimal damage”. Still waiting to hear more from where Milton made landfall.

We are blessed, I rode out the storm with my parents, they lost power and the water is currently turned off but I just checked and my apartment miraculously never lost power. Running on like 5 hours of sleep but it’s so nice to see daylight. 

Neighborhood is already out cleaning. I’ll wait to go out to my place for a while to access but heard from a neighbor that everything seems fine!

The sound of wind has now been replaced by a generator. 

Going to continue to document but likely my next update will be in the morning, going to try and get some sleep but that probably won’t happen until the eye passes us. 

Stay Strong Florida the morning always come! #hurricane
Thankful for these guys but ready for them to be done for this season! 

I did this shoot back in 2019 for an article in a magazine after @noaa moved from Tampa to Lakeland. They taught us how they collect data during a hurricane.

Winds are here. #hurricanemilton
You would think it’s winter how I’m dressed right now and by tomorrow you’ll think it’s summertime. #hurricane  #milton #tip
How does a 35 year old girl prepare for a hurricane, she goes to her parents…
I’ll head to my parent’s house later tomorrow morning and I’ll show you all the prep work I’ve done before leaving my apartment tomorrow. I’m usually a heavy sleeper but the past two nights when I’m this anxious I’m just waiting for time to literally pass by and for it to be here. I’m sure I’ll check the 2am advisory as well. We have a long 36 hours ahead of us. Keep praying for our state! #floridastrong
My man @denisphillipsabcweather is on.
I need something else to do…

I get paralyzed by media sometimes when it’s a major event like this, it consumes me I’ve been switching between the different news channels all day today. I’ve been stalking @denisphillipsabcweather and waiting for any updates - especially for Polk County. 

I’m going to start painting or editing some photos soon to help take my mind off the storm for a little while but I hope everyone is ready. Remember to look out for your neighbors, have patience, be kind, and have faith. Storms are temporary, they always pass and clear out and whatever the aftermath is we know our community is strong.

I saw @bumpgalletta share his Florida Artwork so I thought I’d join him in saying we are all in this together. We are all thinking and feeling the same thing, waiting anxiously for this storm, but while doing so remember to remain calm and treat everyone you encounter with kindness. It’s never been more important to love thy neighbor. 

For my followers who don’t know I live in Lakeland, Florida and right now we are in the path of this storm. I’m staying. I live far enough inland and I’m not in a flood zone. I’m prepared but I would be lying if I said I’m not anxious. Please pray for our state and the impacted areas.

I didn’t know you could reply with a reel! One of my favorite content creators @lindseygurk posted about her new puppy and she asked about things she needs I said this water bowl. If you want to know what it is I can send it to you!
