Frikkin Prank Callin Hurricanes...

Thanks Patti for posting my message. We have power again and can flush the toilet instead of pouring 5 gallons of water down the tank! The power is back on and it's wonderful to have lights and running water.

Todd, our neighbor, brought over a generator last night so we could run the refrigerator and freezer for a few hours and cool stuff down again. Melody was happy all her tasty salad greens survived.

The governor said about 2 million people in Ohio were without power due to the wind storm. We lost some massive oak trees in our neighborhood that took out power lines.

Greg and I were getting pretty tired of listening to the radio and staring at each other.

I'm so glad everyone is ok. I wondered about some of the people North of me in various directions......... We lucked out at only losing power for less than a day but I know there are a lot of people STILL without it. Kinda strange that basically a Hurricane did this in the midwest!

Thank Goodness Melody didn't have to eat warm greens! OMG! that would be just awful!!!

Melody hated being in the dark and hid out behind a small cabinet. Ali could have cared less and kept on eating and playing. Dr. Mel is such a sensitive soul...

Generator?

Glad you're doing ok. Wish I was there to help - but then again I saw where gators were in the streets from the flooding - so I guess I don't wish it so.

Proud of you guys....... eventhough I was VERY worried for you!

Glad to hear you are alive and well although it sounds like you are swamped with animals.

A cross stitching friend of mine in NC has a missing mother (78 yrs) and brother (51 yrs) in Orange County Texas. They have haven't been heard from since right before the storm. Melanie talked to her mom and she said they were being evacuated by the 211 people (?) who also evacuated them for Gustav.

Melanie hasn't heard anything. She called the Red Cross help # for Ike and they have no record of her mother and brother. She called the 211 people and they have no record and claim they weren't even registered to be evacuated. Both have serious medical issues and need meds. Melanie is a loss as to who to call next.

Zin, do you have idea of numbers that can be called to locate missing people in Orange County other than the Red Cross and 211? Thanks - would appreciate any ideas.

Ann


*** Update! Melanie just called me and she just now found her mother and brother in a shelter in Marshall, Texas. They are both safe and well. They were indeed evacuated as they had said. What a relief.
