Just got updated! Apparently there’s no cell service, so Sis had to go out this morning looking for coverage. Her husband, with the Guard, moved closer to the action but that means they’re also somewhere with no power and no cell service, so she has no idea where he is or what/how he’s doing. The worst was midnight to 4 am, so she was up listening and is pooped. Worst, only after the power went out did she realize that the brand-new batteries she’d bought for her radio were no good. So, no updates, no cellphone, no power, very little sleep, but the house is fine, the roof is fine, the neighbors are fine, even her car is fine.
The area is a mess of downed power lines and downed trees, but no local flooding anyway. She called Mom, who then updated the rest of us just now.
I was at that very moment tormenting myself with the extremely dramatic galleries of images on weather.com, including some of flooded Savannah.

I’m from the gulf coast, the eye of Ike went over my hometown, and I remember the Rita mess very well, so staying put under evacuation sounds so normal to me. As long as you can trust your land, house, and ability to take care of yourself without normal assistance, which sounds like is the case, everything should be ok<3 Being without power sucks I’m sure, though I wouldn’t personally know. Am from very small area and we had a generator. keeping positive thoughts for all
and @unicornduke had a charming tale of youthful exuberance in the face of disaster– hey, I remember the 1987 October storm, playing under trees and later Mom being like ‘you didn’t go under trees right’ and be like O.O um of course not!

I’ll keep them in mine too! I hope they’re all right this morning. It’s so scary.
I ventured onto Facebook, mostly because I was seeing if anyone had heard from my sister (sometimes texts go missing), and was a little encouraged that even on there, people are talking about how to support Haiti without giving anything to the ACR, who let them down so badly after the last one.
Let us not discuss what else I saw on Facebook… actually it wasn’t awful.
Oh, I emailed my cousin of the transatlantic phone call, and he confirmed that it was indeed his son, and then wrote a charming little update post. (”I don’t do Facebook,” he confessed, “but, you know, lately I Snapchat a lot?” and I thought, man, what is the deal with Snapchat? I only ever used it to draw dicks on things.)
