We've gotten closer to our neighbors(we share a well, and they helped us get the generator working, and wire up a plug to run the well). We've been taking turns offering each other various things.
We've been able to cope pretty well, all things considered. Many of our emergency preparations worked very well.
No damage to house or cars (or outbuildings). Not even any sign of a (new) tree down on the property (but have not investigated extensively).
Limited loss of food, etc.
No flooding.
Wonderful news, especially about the neighborly help. Thanks for your report.
“Praises: Gorgeous weather — made the lack of a/c (or even fans) more bearable”
THAT is a miracle from heaven like I have never seen. Houston w/cool weather in September and right after a hurricane! Unheard of. Praise report indeed!
Has the generator warning been posted at least 50 times yet about the distance and the importance of VENTING?
