Update from Traci!

Hi guys, I got an email from Traci this morning. I will post it below...

Hey Lesley,

I have been trying to check in for 2 days and you are the only email address that will go through!

I have been home since a day after the hurricane. It was an AWFUL trip to my sisters but I will tell that some other time.

When I got home we had power thank goodness but our yard had a lot of damage. We had a huge tree down and lots of tree damage all over. I am so glad we left because I would have been panicked hearing the noise if we had stayed. My phone power line was also broken and hanging in my driveway so it took two days for them to fix the phone lines so I could have computer access. I can't get on the board because we are having what they call "Rolling blackouts." These are the electric company purposely shutting down our electric a couple of times a day so that they can fix everyone's electricity.

I do not dare stay on to long in case a blackout happens and I damage my computer so I will hopefully be on for good once it is over. We are also still having problems getting gas and groceries so that is a huge part of our day here.

I hope all is well and please send everyone my best wishes.

Traci
