God bless,

Thanks bunches. We survived!

Sherri, most people not in the area affected never heard of it either. The news outside this area reported just storms like it was no big deal, but the National Weather Service said it was an inland hurricane. If you saw the radar, it looked exactly like that, and the 100+ MPH winds also proved it.

TV stations were running on generators, and for those without power, some radio stations stopped all programming to take phone calls from people with questions and updates. It was great how everyone pulled together and continue doing so.

Some might think looting would be a problem. Not here. Two guys were caught trying to break into a gas station a few days after the storm. They were caught and bond set at $200,000 and they never even got in the place! The sheriff was on the radio stating that the jail had plenty of room but certainly was no picnic since they had no power, meaning no AC and no hot food!

Cell service is ok now, but for a few days, it was intermittent with calls not going through. Thanks for trying though. I've been pretty busy with working, but I'll call you soon.

Wow, Joy! This is the first I've been on here lately and this is the first thread that I read. WHEW!!! Sounds like you've had a tough, tough way to go lately. I'm glad that you are ok, but sorry to hear about all the damage. I'll be praying for you now.

Thanks, my friend. I'm also going to be seeing the city attorney to find out if I have any recourse to not paying rent in order to clear the trees off. The owners don't care what this property looks like because they have no money, no insurance, and they are being foreclosed on. Meantime, it's difficult getting out of my driveway because I can't see oncoming traffic because of the tree in my way! In addition, I can't mow or anything because of trees and brush, so I'm going to check out and see what I can do.

However, I will be moving out of here around July 1.

I'd say that under the circumstances you shouldn't have to pay anymore rent at all unless they get the mess cleaned up. I realize that it was an act of God and not your fault, but that's just the point. It was NOT your fault. And they are the homeowners, not you. Good luck with that one.
