I live in southwestern Florida. Hurricane Ian hit shore approximately 40 miles from the sleepy little beach town that I love so much. On Tuesday afternoon September 27, 2022, I very loudly and clearly heard my higher self say “you need to leave and you need to leave now!”. I knew I needed to comply and evacuate. I had already been preparing to evacuate, just in case. I had planned to go to an emergency shelter in North Port, Florida. I heard a big no from my higher self, do not go there. Ok, so what do I do now? Where do I go? Do I go south? I heard another no from my higher self. Do I go further inland? I heard another no from my higher self. Do I try to find a hotel room somewhere now when most have no occupancy and are full? Sitting on my couch, not knowing what to do, I started to cry. I called out for help. Immediately my text notification went off. It was my niece, who lives further north in Florida. She asked me if I was ok. Did I want to come to her house? I didn’t even need to think about it and said yes, I wanted to go to her house. I threw some clothes and toiletries in a bag. Grabbed some cat food. I put 2 of my cats in the kennel in the car. Sadly, one of my cats was outside and had not been home for a week and I had to evacuate without him. I started driving north to my niece’s house. When I got past Tampa, I finally felt safe and could take a deep breath. I then stopped at the next rest stop and took a break.
The cats and I arrived safely at my niece’s house. I was very relieved to be in a safe place and to be with family. I was worried about the cat I had to leave behind and I didn’t know if I would have a house to come home to. I didn’t sleep much that night. Wednesday was a day of anticipation and waiting to see where hurricane Ian would hit the shore. Hurricane Ian ended up coming upon shore south of my home at Sanibel Island & Fort Meyers as a category 4 hurricane. I returned to my home on Friday and I was one of the lucky ones! My house was standing! With only minimal damage. My neighbors were not so lucky. The damage in my area was horrible. We were on the edge of the eye of the storm. The wind was horrific. More than what was reported on the news. The worst was no power, water, sewer or internet, etc. The support from my neighbors was a God send! We all pulled together and helped each other. Some of my neighbors had generators and gas grills and fed me hot dinners every night until we had power again. Somehow, we all got through it.
I am an empath and a sensitive. I am so grateful my higher self spared me the trauma of this hurricane experience. But the aftermath was still intense. I could feel the pain of all the trees that were lost in this catastrophe. When my downed trees were cut up and hauled out to the street I cried. I did energy healing on myself daily. I did whale healings on myself frequently just to make it through this. I would be ok as long as I stayed home. As soon as I left and drove through town, I would be on emotional overload from all of the destruction I saw and felt. Most of my neighbors did not evacuate. They chose to shelter in place. The experiences they shared with me were horrible. Some of them have PTSD as a result. I was at one of my neighbors for dinner, they had a generator, and her husband turned on a fan, she went into total shock from the noise and movement of the wind from the fan. So did another neighbor who was also there for dinner. I was at the grocery store a couple of weeks after the hurricane and it had just started to rain. I was talking to the cashier. I mentioned it had just begun to rain. She went into PTSD from the rain. So many of the residents here have shock and PTSD as a result of their Hurricane experience. Again, I am so grateful I evacuated.
