One of the stranger things of this entire situation is the lack of news. We have a vague sense of what happened to us, and how widespread the damage is, but not really. Local news on the radio is mostly about where to find gas and ice.
We are all still fine, if not filthy. The storms were a perfect opportunity for some unrelated horrible dramas to play out. I won’t get into that a lot, but suffice it to say that the tv show Intervention in no way prepares you for just how awful it can be.
My flight home got pushed from this morning to tonight. I cannot wait to be home with JS and Tonks and have a hot shower and coffee.
Mostly, though, for us, the lack of power is an annoyance, forcing us to grill outside and walk Xander to the park. Not everyone is as lucky.
