Cindy Lou Who
Cindy really did a number on the city. Unlike the overhyped storms that come through with news reporters standing in the Quarter under light rain speculating what would happen if we were submerged under 30 feet of water, this storm seemed to go underreported. Then again, I haven't had power for 36 hours and counting so I might not be a good source of information.
This was easily the worst storm that I've seen in my five years here and although our tenant's reported a new leak in the roof and an aged antennae was ripped from the side of the house, I think that we got off pretty lucky. I drove The Husband by a huge tree that was torn down blocks from our house. Fortunately it didn't land on a car nor another home.
Living without electricity hasn't been that bad. It's just frustrating because it's so spotty and until we drove around the city last night it felt like we were the only block without power. Since our problems with the refrigerator, I've been concerned about what little food we have going bad but we did manage to find ice last night along with a small radio to listen to our AM talk shows.

I have a doctor appointment later today and The Husband is coming along since he's only met my doctor once before. I'll probably post later.

Glad to hear you guys didn't have too much damage with Tropical Storm Cindy. Hopefully Hurricane Dennis stays far, far away. We don't want it in Texas either.
