According to this latest Carmen-comment, Katie’s family is alright as well.

A revision to Jay’s house: “Extensive structural damage” should be qualified and restated as “localized structural damage.” Most of the house is fine, just the two spots where the roof collapsed are going to need work. And the garage door.

A lot of houses in my neighborhood are much too friendly with their trees, according to Mom. Kenwood Elementary’s office, for example, has one of the massive old oak trees that grew near it lying patiently in the waiting room.

A cool thing I didn’t know: Our power generator has, for the last couple years, had the capability to plug into our house’s electrical system. Additionally, our house has a switch to throw us off the local power grid. Putting the two together mean that our generator is powering all the interior fans, two refrigerators and the freezer at home, as well as sundry power tools. That’s nifty! Rock on, Mom and Dad!
