Still hunkered down

I wanna go home.
Anyone who's been following the news, the town of Melbourne, Florida might sound familiar right now. Yeah.
I hang my hat in Melbourne. I live there. My stuff is there. My home is there.
They're talking about Frances dumping 20" of rain on us. Almost two feet of water. How in the hell we're going to drive home is beyond me. Standing water, downed trees, downed powerlines... It's going to take for-fucking-ever to get home. And then once we get home, I don't know what we're going to find. I'm finding some solace in the knowledge that the only things in our fridge that could really go bad (if we've lost power, and I think we have) are a dozen eggs and a jar of mayo.
Not knowing is the worst part. I don't know if we lost power because there's now a hole in our roof and water is coming down on everything, or if we just lost power for the usual reasons.
I'm kind of tired right now. Usually I'm more optimistic.
Alcohol helped, so perhaps more of that tomorrow. *tired smile*
Anyway. Just letting everyone know we're still okay.
