fun and exciting things are happening

but i'm charging my phone and power bank in my car lol. we got hit hard by Helene like most of the southeast and this is day three without power. we've had no flooding where we are, thank god, but trees and power lines are down everywhere. the state hasn't even sent anyone out our way yet to clear the roads, it's been up to locals with chainsaws to tackle the trees. they can't do anything about the lines tho, so those are still out everywhere.

i've only heard a little news from everywhere else that got hit but it does sound like we got off incredibly light. i heard Asheville is like completely cut off from everything now? like all the bridges in/out were destroyed by flooding so it's only accessible via air now? like fucking christ. once again seeing the USA's incredible fucking infrastructure at work.

anyway, just waiting it out. hope the vet has power bc Frankie and Riot have back-to-back appointments this week. power company can't give an estimate for when the power will be back beyond "hopefully everyone will have power by Friday" which...cool. very cool.

thinking about Asheville and reminding myself it could be worse, that i shouldn't complain. it does suck tho.

anyway this post is just to complain really lmao. i can't do much else at this point.

anyway rare personal post! i hope that everyone else hit by the storm is doing alright! we really did get incredibly lucky, and as much as i'm bitching about it i'm still really grateful. like at least they got the cell tower back up, we didn't even have cell service for the first two days. gotta think positive, right? lol

anyway if i haven't replied to you this is also why!! i'm still here, i'll get back to you! hopefully sooner than later;;

Oh, no, I'm sorry you've been hit by the hurricane! Glad you've escaped the flooding, at least, and I hope your power is back soon.

I'm so sorry to hear that you've gone through this. Good to hear that you are all okay though. I've noticed that it's past a few days since you've posted this so hopefully things are a bit better by now. :( Sending you and everyone affected my prayers!
