Quick update

Just wanted to let people that cared know that despite minor damage to our home, and major damage to my brother in law's home, everyone is okay. No injuries, thankfully. Looters hit the area where my brother-in-law's mobile home was located. Dirtbags. They got about halfway through the neighborhood before the police routed them.

We, like so many others, have no power, but have managed to get water back--a fitting that was connected to our water hose snapped off, and water was pouring out of the side of the house. I have taken a lot of pictures, and will post them whenever I get a chance.

Abby and Jonothan did really well, and Abby only really got upset when I took flashlights away from her to conserve battery power.

Hope everyone else that was affected by Hurricane Charley is doing well, or as best as they can be. Take care, be safe, and my thoughts and prayers are with all of my LJ friends.

Glad to hear everyone is ok. Hopefully your mailbox didn't blow away, your postcard should be arriving soon.

Interestingly enough, my neighbor's box did blow away.
