I'm here! I'm alive!!

We finally got power back yesterday. Had to get everything settled and straightened out. I'm at work this morning and there is TONS of backlog to wade through. :-/

The DSL is dead at my house, so I may have to go back to dial-up until it gets workin' again.

Figures.

And thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. I'll admit that I was scared out of my wits when I realized that the eye was passing through.

I lost power before I saw the southward turn, but the radio stayed on during the storm and we stayed up all night watching out for tornadoes.

Half the shingles on my roof are gone, but no serious damage besides the fence.

OH! And the mourning doves came through just fine! They were preening themselves on what was left of the fence the following morning! :-D

Prayers for Louisiana! I'll be back when I get through the brunt of the work on my desk.
