I can just picture you trying to cover the window with a sheet. Thanks for a background story on how you were responsible for protecting the planes at the base and the heavy responsibility you had in making sure this was done. When we lived in Charleston, I remember those days that we watched the journey that the hurricanes took as they marched across the Atlantic as a harrowing time. We even booked a hotel inland when it was reported that Charleston was in the path of one of those storms. Luckily it missed us and we enjoyed a day off school in the brilliant sunshine.

I think I need to abandon the building”. I told her to get the hell outta there if it was safe to move. “. She did and was ok. Just another heroic story. ❤️

I don’t think I ever appreciated how harrowing this was—having a window blow out. Picturing you attempting to cover the window with a sheet is something we can laugh at now.
