Yep. And it's so sad and frightening. It's one of the things that makes me feel really defeated, it's too late, why even try.

I saw the storm headed your way and thought about you. So glad you're okay!

Even luckier that you can get signal in the basement! I sure can't (can barely get signal in the above ground cinderblock ground floor). If we've got no electric (so no wifi), either we go upstairs for phone service or we're stuck with old fashioned radio - luckily we're in an area where there's still a true local channel that has someone actually at the station all the time.
