I hope many of you saw my last message about our situation at home. I'm back from Chicago now, and am working on getting all the pieces put back together and caught back up with life.
In case you missed it - while I was away in Chicago, we had a massive storm rip through our town. The experts said it was a "derecho" - basically tornado/hurricane speed winds sustaned for 15-20 minutes over a huge area. Most of the houses around us lost partial roofs. Our next door neighbors house was by far the worst, as they lost their entire roof. I was talking with him today, and they think they may have to raze the entire house and start over.
We're luckier than a lot of our neighbors, in that we still have a roof over our heads, but we did have substantial damage to the siding, shingles, a few windows, and (as a result of the windows blowing out) water damage to carpets and other interior furnishings.
I've got a couple packages of trades that were rescued from our mailbox...I'll be re-sending them tomorrow. I haven't opened them, so if there is any damage to any of the cards you receive from me, please let me know and I will reimburse you (either new cards or send back the ones you sent to me) - no questions asked.
I'm going to try to get caught back up as soon as I can...but if you need anything mod related, your best bet will still be to stick with floydtown or Xstream for the next few days.
