Another Evacuee Update

More good news: all of our homes are in great condition, supposedly, and so is our company's main office. We have some insiders that remained behind, and they reported that all seems well — so now we just have to hope some crazy leak wasn't sprung somewhere. BUT, the main thing is that we are lucky enough to have a home to go back to. I fear that some of they guys and gals I work with will not have homes, literally. That will be horrible — but at least our company is intact, so there'll be no time without pay to help them out.

Intermittent power will begin to flick about the city tomorrow and Monday, and there's a good chance the city will start letting people come home. HOWEVER, full power won't come online for a week or two — and a lot of stores will NOT be open. We're playing it by ear, as we don't want to head home without full sewer, electricity, and water due to my Dad's health. We're working on a couple of leads to try and get closer to home, though.

One of the local churches lost its steeple, which then fell through the stained glass of the main worship area. Hopefully there wasn't too much water damage.

My cigars have been getting warmer and warmer since Friday evening. It'll stink to lose $300 worth of stogies if they all get ruined...
