Hurricane refugees II
Not exactly refugees, but pretty close. My parents are on the way up to stay for two nights before heading up to just outside of Ashville where my brother's lives. They are planning to stay there for a month. My parents sell legal insurance and that kind of work has dried up for the time being, so they are headed this way to work with part of their organization in Ashville.
They wanted to head up this way two weeks ago but due to the repairs needed they had to stick around. They finally got electricity two days ago and were able to get all the repairs to their house and rental house complete. I don't expect them until really late tonight because they did not get off until after five. They spent the better part of the day trying to wrap up loose ends. I think on of the things they had to do was hang two new mail boxes. My sister Jeannie and her family will be moving into my parent's house while they are gone because she still does not have electricity, and from what I hear it could still be quite some time till she does.
Posted by gid at September 17, 2005 09:25 PMwe got electricity almost a month after the storm. We first lived in our store-Axtion Comics, Cards and Games- for about two weeks, cause it got electricity six days after the storm. Then we moved into mom and dads house after they came up there, we stayed for about two weeks. We had no damage to our house, except for our big freezer leaked on the playroom carpet and molded some of it. Of course the insurance company doubles our deductible in the cause of hurricanes-cool huh!
