How are we doing after the storm, Virginians?

[ohheckyeah]

2. I'm in a motel in

southwestern Virginia. Power has been out since Friday night at 9:00 p.m. The storm tore through here like a F1 tornado and took down trees and power all over the place. The motels are sold out and restaurants are packed. We made a reservation just in the nick of time.

My brother ended up having to share our motel room last night but his power is back on today. We may go to his house if the electricity is still out at ours tomorrow. It's a 50 mile drive from our house to his and we like being closer to our house to keep an eye on things......we live rural but that doesn't guarantee that nobody will mess with an empty home.

My elderly parents couldn't find a motel and we were able to get on a waiting list at the motel where we are and they finally got a room Friday night.

It's been stressful just making sure that all of our friends and family are okay. Fortunately, we were able to contact everyone eventually.

Things are a mess but it could be a whole mess worse.

Hope all the DUers are okay.
