Update from Home

Talked with Mom today. The insurance guy came over, and he discovered some damage that had been overlooked. Quite critical damage, too. The turbine had blown off of their roof, leaving a gaping hole into the attic. And the level of water in the house was about 5-6 inches.
My sister (the nurse) has set up the "Evacuation Cafe" in her home, to make sure my parents get proper nutrition each day, since Mom and Dad won't have a kitchen for a while. It's a relief to know that she'll be keeping an eye on their health, too. My sister's house was untouched by the storm. As one of the sisters commented, it was like in the Gospel, where Jesus says (in one of those eschatological talks), "one will be taken and one will be left." At times, the damage seemed positively random.
