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.
Dixiegal,

Take things as easily as it's possible to do under the circumstances. Reading your posts you are a very strong minded gal, but also make sure that you get enough sleep.

Lecture over.

Gran.

Dear Dixiegal,

I really hope that you are o.k. I echo nohmi2 in hoping that you get some rest and sleep if you can. Please get some medical attention if you can, I really hope that you don't have any kidney damage. I am sorry for the lecture! You and Tim are in my prayers always.

My prayers are for you, your family and neighbors Dixie. Anyone that's gone through an event as distressing as that needs all the help you can get. May you get all the assistance you need.

We finally got to go in today, but curfew to be out was 6:00. We salvaged a car and truck load. I don't know if I will ever see my home again, because it has slpped all but 1/4 inch from the foundation, and the roof is collapsing.

While we were there, a bulldozer uncovered 11 bodies crushed in a basement. The house site was across the road and 3 down. That is 24 just from my block alone.

We are certainly being fed. Church group is barbequing in heir parking lots, youth groups and cheerleaders and football players are going back and forth to everyone working, bringing plenty of cold drinks, fruit, snacks, and sandwiches.

I'm exhausted. Had a scary breakdown when they sounded the curfew, because I had to leave my home.

DG - take care of yourself! You & Tim are so blessed to have survived! Get medical attention for your back & kidney! After all you've been through, don't ignore the little things!

When you get stuff semi-sorted out, let us know what you need. There are a lot of folk here just waiting to pitch in & help out!
