Roadtrip☆

Going home today! Hooray!(?)

No idea if my internet will be working in Fort Mac. It's possible that it won't.

I don't know what things are going to look like. Apparently, driving through downtown is... a pretty rough experience. Not to mention getting into town to begin with. I mean, the last thing most people saw of it was the Super 8 motel going down in flames, which... yeahhhh.

Maybe I'll take some pictures to match the ones I took when I was evacuating. :| (Which I haven't shown, because they're on my father's phone. We haven't had a chance to remove them yet.)

So... yes.

I'M HOME

I'M HOME, I'M HOME, I'M HOME!

We have internet! We have power! We... don't have gas yet, but somebody will come by to turn it back on soon. AHA we have gas now, hooray!

The power never went out! Which means cleaning out the appliances was a breeze. We can return to almost-normal, hooray!

Downside is, my brother lost power, and his basement was flooded - we're still not sure why, but suspect that the storm water sewers were backed up due to all the water use in town. Okay, it turns out his hot water heater broke, and has to be replaced. All that carpet and whatnot is going to need to be completely ripped out, eugh. But, that's something for the insurance and his landlord (AKA mom) to sort out.

And now all the unpacking and cleaning and bullshit... well, one can take one's time with that.

I'm just so glad to be home. orz
