My house was destoyed by Jeanne, but worse, I had no DU access.

I just got lucky and found a place to move after my roof blew off and my ceilings caved in, insulation all over everything I own. Fortunately we are ok. Four neighbors are in the same situation, as I am sure many others in Sarasota.

Wearing face masks in order to clean out our belongings and running around setting up a new place to live keeps you right in the present. However, the only news I was able to get about the elections was from newspapers and periodic tv from someone else's house when I visited for a few minutes. And of course, everything from those news sources sounds like Kerry is going down and should maybe consider not even debating.

How happy am I this morning to be back online and at DU where there are insanely normal people I can get rational news from? VERY fucking happy.

Haven't had time to read much, but caught madfloridians post. Hope everyone is OK.
