We are alive :-)

Ok - sorry about the lack of posting in recent days.

We have been in a bit of a communications black spot since the storm. For a little while after the storm we had a landline phone and I could access the internet from my Blackberry. Sometime on Saturday the landline went out and since FEMA arrived, mobile phone access has been limited at best (at the moment we can receive no incoming calls and only rarely can we make outgoing calls from home).

But we're ok. We have no power but the house is fine. We ate our way through the contents of the fridge and freezer and now we're buying food day-to-day as we can't store it.

There's no reliable estimate on when we might be back - we heard this Friday, then the 25th and now we hear they're not sure if it will be back or not by then. So who knows!

We'll post more on the storm later when we have the pictures online!
