I've have not personally heard from her, but have heard that there is some damage to her home, I don't know how much. But they are ok, and that is what is important.

It is very difficult for everyone here now all over the state. Most of us have found or over the last couple of days that we have friends and/or family homeless. Almost everyone here is without electricity. It is difficult for people to get to the places where they are handing out drinking water, ice for coolers and food. Gasoline lines are long for those that are lucky enough to have vehicles in workable condition, when you happen to run across a station that does have electricity and has not been blown away.

Lots and lots of help has been sent into this area, and I assume others. The Red Cross, the National Guard, electric crews from all over have come to help, but it is going to take lots of time.

It is extremely emotionally draining on everyone here, but we will all do what we have to in order to get through it ourselves and to help others in our community that haven't been as luck as a few of us are.
