"When Disaster Strikes'
My friend Meredith shared this blog with me today:

I will let Sarah's words and pictures tell the story. She lives in Glendale Gardens, the neighborhood next to ours.
One thing I find ironic about the aftermath -- Sarah pointed out something about people who owned chainsaws: Our chainsaw and other power tools were in the garage. Eventually Tom was able to pull it out, and although the case was crushed the saw itself helped clear debris for weeks afterward. But for that first 24-36 hours, it was out of reach. We still don't know who cleared the street in front of our house. By the time we got back on the 28th, the road was open.

never too late for an update
We moved back into our house over the 4th of July weekend. Work is still ongoing well over a month later, and of course the insurance and mortgage companies don't make anything easy. But we are back in and are hosting a shindig for our neighborhood this weekend on our shadeless driveway. Fun amidst the recovery!
