Apologies and stormy weather
Apologies first, to Jay and to Yana, for respectively disappearing and failing to appear last night. Storms ripped through our area at around ten p.m. that downed an impressive number of trees and power lines, and our power, along with many thousands of other people in a large area, went out. The storms were so bad they made the national news.
Since the weather has also been hellishly hot and muggy, this was a Very Bad Thing. Luckily our house was undamaged, but after a few hours of unsuccessfully trying to sleep we gave up, packed up the critters and drove a couple hours to Akai's parents house (we had to carefully get past about half a dozen downed trees on the road before we could reach the highway), where they have power but the internet is down. Our cell phones were also down for most of the day but have now started sort of working.
A couple more 100-degree days are expected, and we have learned that it may be up to a week before we get our power restored. I'm at another friend's house now to use the internet briefly to get work done that has to be done before the end of the month, and then I'm off to my sister's to check on her; I can't raise her on the phone and her area is very wooded, so I think it likely she has no power too.
We'll be back IG as soon as we can. Lexy went and did retrieve the kittens from Rali's house, and left a note which I will write later. SORRY to miss events; if we can figure out how to make it to them we will be there, but no guarantees! Take care and have fun!

I am sorry to hear it was that serious. You did warn there were some high winds just before Alexis vanished (as I was juggling Jayem’s prayerbook for the venture), so I knew your warning had been borne out, but not how seriously it had been borne out.
I hope all goes well with getting power restored for yourself and for your sister if her power is also out.

Sure enough, sister has no power. Most of the people I know have no power, but everyone is okay. The lamb is in Akai's parents basement where it is coolest.
