Quick Update Post: Ida aftermath

My sister and father came through Hurricane Ida unscathed. There was one tree that fell near the house, but its fall was broken by another tree, so not a ton of damage that we can tell at this point.

They are currently without power, and because Dad is in a rural part of St. Tammany Parish, he likely won’t see power restored for another week or two. Linemen are heroes, for sure, but their focus is getting power back to the larger population centers first. Side streets are not seen as a priority.

Dad doesn’t complain about the heat, though my sister feels like she is melting. I know I’d feel like I was melting too.

For those of you following me, I will, at some point, change the layout of this blog. . .I just haven’t spent a lot of time navigating WordPress and went for a simple theme.

More later!
