reality check

first off i am okay, thank you to all the people that have asked, all of my family here in central and north mississippi are okay, not to sure about the family and friends on the coast (but i think most of them evacuated)...as for life here, it had been crazy since sunday...we woke up early monday morning and my sisters came to my nana's and momma and i went to work, i ended up staying at work until 10 that night helping out and working, it was a scary site to see the weather, we lost all power and were down to our last generator at the hospital, the water was also off, to conserve our power they also turned off the air condition at the hospital, it was a long day/night, momma and i thought we were going to have to stay the night but at the last minute we found out that the roads were passible enough to go home...with my sisters still at my nana's, momma and i went home at about 1030 monday night, our house favored very well compared to alot of houses in the neighborhood, we lost one tree and a big section of our backyard fence is gone, but we still had no power, my dad lost two trees at his house, and one tree fell on his car...today is the first day i have had access to the internet to talk to everyone b/c my phone has not really worked...it is thursday, and while my nana has power, our house is still without, i have been working everyday, trying to help at the hospital that is still under a boil water notice, we are still staying with my nana hoping that we will soon regain our power (they are sayin git could be weeks for some areas here)...we are all out of school until after labor day but even when classes resume i dont know if i will be able to go unless the gas crisis is resolved, if you have watched the news you may have seen the people waiting for gas in long lines and that is just how it is, i havent heard of anyone getting gas in less than 2 hours, and with the long lines, the few stations that have power are having to close fast, i have always been the person who thought that these thing would never happen where i was so to be going through it is very scary at times and it has really helped me see what is important, family... things have been crazy, but as put out as my family and i are we are counting our blessings, we faired so well compared to the rest of mississippi...thank you again for your concern and prayers, just please keep praying for eveyone...
