Ice

Quick little update on us Okies.

--Freezing rain started Saturday night.

--We lost power Sunday morning, as did most the state.

--We lost the phone line Sunday night.

--There's no telling when either of those will come back. I'm betting the weekend.

--There's a good possibility that we'll loose our water as well because the water tower pump is electrical. No telling how long the water already in the tower will last.

--We are all very thankful to our wonderful Dad who bought a gas generator last year and has kept it running since Sunday for us.

--We've been declared to be in a state of emergency. I was disappointed to find out that that did not mean that I was instantly enstated as dictator. :(

--It's above freezing today, so it's safe to drive for now.

--Freezing rain might start back up tonight and continue tomorrow.

--We've lost two trees completely and all the others are damaged in varying degrees.

--There was no school yesterday, so my Latin and Greek final and soc final are bumped to Friday.

--God is being very good to us.

We're managing to have a ton of fun being stuck in the house with limited electricity and water. I'm typing in some final papers now that RSU has power again, but I have to be home before dark. Love y'all!

Leona, for future reference, if you can't get through on the land line try Mama's cell. 918-527-8364 We are charged for incoming calls though, so we don't usually use it for casual chats.
