I got power & phone service last night. I haven't been boiling water because I didn't know we were supposed to. I haven't gotten sick so far, so my water must be okay. I hope your family in Richland gets power soon. It's really hot down here.

Glad you have power!

They aren't expecting it or phone soon! They are using text messages and this afternoon she was able to call out on the cell

No one can tell them how long it will be. Just to boil water.

I just talked with my Sweet Baby and he said they finally got a generator.

But they are still boiling water.
I don't know who told them to do that!
They are older and he has stomach cancer.
He's just started chemo and can't stand to be around too much noise.
All the kids are at the residence of her sister where they stayed for the last day or so.

They decided to get a generator and go back home.
(I had no idea generators were available)

They got it at their friendly neighborhood Wal*Mart store!

We'll have to wait and see how it goes from there.

Glad you are powered up! ;-)
