Thanks Paulette~~I am not suffering, especially
since a herd of strong men came and removed the
tree from our roof. That means the holes are
now tarped and we are not in danger of it doing
further damage. Everyone kept saying, do not
even touch the tree since they felt it could
take out the middle part of the house, down to
the ground.

We still have a "hot" wire laying across the drive.
Its the power line to our well. The pole was
sheared off at the ground. There is a shortage
of poles so hard to tell when we will get it
fixed. I just put up sawhorses to block it and
hope for the best, and soon. Our insurance
adjuster is still missing although we have been
assured we are on a list.

My neighbors are both teachers, in different
schools, and they say there are still many many
students and teachers without power. The last
figure I heard, there were still 247,000 households
without power, as of yesterday.

You are right about there being little attention
in the days after a hurricane. My friend's husband
came to survey the damage and help with the cleanup
last week and he said that they might get a small
sound byte on CNN but nothing like the continuing
lengthy coverage we have here. I wonder how many
are still without power from Gustav?? I imagine
it will take years for the Houston-Galveston area
to recover, if it ever does.

blessings,
Zoe
