It is day 7 without power at our house and we continue to stay relocated with a coworker who has power and internet. Tomorow is the estimated day for power to come back on at our house so we are hopeful that stays true. I doubt we will get internet access back at the same time but that is secondary to having power.
We are also prepping for more rain as another tropical storm makes its way through the gulf and up our way. We should get a minimal bit of rain but any amount at this point has most of us here cautious.
We've also been able to get word from some friends up in western NC which was both heartwarming and heartbreaking. They are in good shape and their area specifically was spared from most damage but they informed us the brother of their's son's girlfriend is missing. His last known whereabouts before the storm are unknown but his car was found in flood waters and home completely washed away.
It is a stark reminder that while this is inconvenient for myself and my family; there are others who will forever be changed by this event. It reinforces the patience needed to get through these events. More importantly it reminds us that we all need some hope in these trying times.
Bonus cat picture. This is our neighborhood cat who adopted us. He's doing just fine.
