I'm sending PM's with contact info to a few folks here, KennyC, Betty, and pooh, in case you want to talk to us.

Our cell system is down, with the towers being destroyed. I can get incoming calls sometimes. We will check in here wherever we find a place with wifi coverage. I love you all.

and continue to think of you all. The news reports are shocking and make me realize how lucky you both really were. Thank you so much for keeping us updated during all this, we really appreciate you thinking of us at this time.

Hang in there DG! What terrible news about your neighbors. I hope things settle down for you soon. Will you have a place to live?

Dixiegal,

Praying for you, and hope that things will calm down soon, and that you will not be wired for too long
My thoughts are with you.

Well, I have Geico for my car and this makes me feel good about that. They have always been decent to deal with for me.

I am so, so sorry about your neighbors and the horrible situation of your neighborhood, DG. My thoughts are with you and those affected.

I'm glad to hear that there are actually companies that can give you an immediate helping hand getting back on your feet! Amazing what a gecko can do! If I were in the States, I'd switch all my coverages to them!

Day 4, and FEMA says they will call of the search for bodies this evening. So maybe they will let us get into our community tomorrow. So we will have to try to salvage anything we can find on Sunday and Monday, before the next round of storms come through on Tuesday. I doubt re-wetting everything will improve the situation.

So today is finally a rest day, at least this morning. We plan to go out to get some lunch, then visit some car dealerships. I dread it, because car shopping is exhausting. Salesman try blunt force against me, the immoveable object.

We both were having night terrors last night. I hope that after we get in there and see our home spot, maybe then some of the anxiety will end.

I think maybe my kidney was bruised, but finally started urinating yesterday, and my shoes fit again today with the swelling gone. I know that I took a big hit in the back when the closet blew in on us, but with all of the cuts and glass and blood on me, a back ache was my least concern. I did not even know that I was cut all over until we got to my BIL's house, and SIL freaked out because my legs and shoes were covered in dried blood.

It is so great to read all of your good wishes and comments. You mean the world to me.

Oh, God! That is awful. I hope you can salvage some stuff and that your cuts and bruises heal quickly.
