We're still out of power in North County. The Ameren site says 9058 people
are served in the 63137 zip code and 8811 are without power. I'm grateful
that at least one friend is NOT in the 8811 and at about the 20 hour mark
we'll have somewhere to take a freezer full of meat.
Right now the husband has run an extension cord from the power inverter in
the car through the house, into the basement and plugged in the wireless
router. We DO have priorities. (Plus we're tracking a Fed-Ex shipment for a
pool liner that should have been in several days ago, but now appears that
Fed-Ex has destroyed in shipping...)
Have fun all.
Nancy
