Just wanted to let you all know that we are OK. NO power, no phone, no gas, no ice, 100
degree heat but we have our home and our lives. It is just crazy here. Someone killed
south of us over a bag of ice. Not much looting but some price gouging for generators.
Trees down over the roads everywhere, crops destroyed, more and more evacuees coming from
New Orleans and we don't have the resources to feed them, food is spoiling from lack
of refrigeration. Many, many states coming to our aid with refrigerated trucks for the
evacuees but no gas to move supplies around the area or even for the power company trucks
to get to the areas of most need. Schools closed, businesses can't operate so will
affect everyone financially. One friend with generator so I am at her house checking in
but no gas for the generator so don't know how long I will have this access. They said
up to 3 weeks for power to return but I am counting on the UP TO. Thanks to all of you who
emailed concern. Wish I co!
uld write to each of you indivudually but hope that you will get this. Again WE ARE FINE.
Take care. Marilyn
