Yes, we're back. The lights came on again at 3:30, and we even have internet. That's three hours short of three days without power - which makes us very blessed. There are still over 2 million people in this area with no power, and some have no water. FEMA is trying to distribute what people need, which is a herculean task. A very few are complaining that not enough is being done, but the New Orleans attitude is in the minority. Most are good Texans, who understand that a disaster is only as much fun as you decide to make it.
I am in the middle of cleaning out the spoiled crap in the refrigerator and freezer, so I am kind of busy, but I wanted to let you all know that we are OK, really OK now, with electricity (how did people survive this climate without electricity???), potable water, and soon... soon... ICE! And I will be able to recharge the cell phone, so if you want to call, go ahead - just be aware that you may not get through.
Thank you, God, and thank you electric system repair guys.
More will follow. I think in a little while I will read all the comments that got left over the last three days...
Dunno why but I had a feeling that you'd be back on today. Glad you and GA are okay. Man, it's going to take a while for you guys to get back to normal down there. Pray for NO MORE HURRICANES this year!
