For a bit of good news, my aunt and uncle still have a house. They didn’t take on too much water from Frances, no flooding from the newly paved, and raised, road. They lost power for most of the day on Sunday but it was back up in good order which means they have water (so weird to me as a city kid to think that your water is tied to your power but I remember living like that in Europe too).
Horses, cats, and people are all fine.
And it looks like Ivan is largely going to miss them. That will be a good thing.
