Hi there. Yes, the storm has passed, and even the feeder bands that lingered all day yesterday have left the area at last, boy, they hung on like grim death! In a way yesterday was worse than the day of landfall. We didn't get as much damage as could have been, and personally all we had were a few tree limbs across the driveway. West of us though it was pretty bad, even worse in some ways than Hurricane Katrina. But New Orleans fared pretty well, except for their power being still out and the usual stuff. No Flooding! Yays! :D

I'm delighted and amazed that I have telephone, internet already! We never even lost electricity, but thousands did in this area.
