Tropical Storm Fay Update

David's sister-in-law has been kind enough to let me spend the afternoon at her house. She has power. We do not.

As Fay blew through west Florida yesterday. Debris began falling from trees. Even some large limbs are down. The power lines here are all suspended in air. As I tried to work yesterday, the power kept going on an off. After the 3rd or 4th time, I decided I was no longer going to be able to work. My computer struggled to keep rebooting itself. Finally around 4pm, the we heard a loud buzz and a "pop". Dave immediately said, "That's a keeper."

He was right. We have not had power since then. A call to the power company only results in a recording that basically says, "We know, we know." There is no ETA for when power will be restored.

So, the bottom line is that we are all unable to access email and our telephone/internet service is out as well. We have a generator that is keeping the fridge running, as well as a few small appliances.

We are all fine, though none of us have had much sleep in this heat and humidity. Though we do not have access to phone/internet services, our cell phones are all working. If you need us, please call the cell number that you have. They have not changed since we were in Las Vegas.
