So my town was the center landing point for hurricanes Frances and Jeanne. We've been without power and phone more or less since September 5th, and they say we'll likely stay that way until October 13th. It hasn't been necessary to boil water however, and the Army hands out ice, so we're making do. We lost most of our trees and our aluminum pool enclosure. Our roof is leaking but intact. A few friends lost their roofs entirely. Another friend's mother suffered a stroke right before Frances and ended up dying in a hotel room during their evacuation. That's as bad as I've heard so far, involving people I know. Not that I've developed some enlightened perspective putting me above complaining about shit. It's 95 degrees and 100% humidity day and night, and I'd like to be able to resume working and, you know, making an income, at some point. It's been an 'adventure' or whatever, but really.
Anyway, in case I seemed even more quiet than usual. A report.
