Traffic Jam / So... / Amberelle DeEspionne 15 years ago

So...

Yeah, I'm alive. House didn't sustain much damage to the naked eye. Still have to get someone on my roof to see why water was dripping from the ceiling / ac vent onto my bed during the storm and to repair the little things like blown down fence sections, gutters dented from all the various things that found their way into my yard etc etc.

Oh and no electricity. *sigh* Thankfully my sister has had it so several of us have been living there. Gas is precious, lines are hours long. I shouldn't complain.. at least Starbucks is open now so there's net and I can work remotely to save gas =)

Hope to be back to normal soon but they keep cautioning it could be weeks before electricity is restored, still around 1.5+ million without it in the Houston area alone. If need be write around me in any threads.. but will return as soon as I can!

Almost everything as out of my fridge and freezer but the smell is BAD. Tomorrow me and the clorox wipes and teaching the inside of the fridge and freezer a new tune. There are also little bugs all over the bottom of both /eww. Thankfully dead. Gonna dump the ice and run a lot through the lines to get water that doesn't taste yicky. yay for being home though. Expect a Miya post when I feel caught up on sleep. *snugs Amby*

Im glad you are all safe, and also glad that its not me cleaning out those fridges lol, I have a weak stomach for ickyness.

Oh and I need to change the timezone on this forum lol.

*snuggles Miya back* I think what saved me from icky smellyness was how I keep a thing of baking soda in the fridge & freezer at all times. And a top to bottom interior scrubbing (took me a few hours) with soft scrub with bleach.
