We dropped by the shed where Surprise is stored, I found her intact and undamaged. Here's the photos.

We went back to the house and continued to work on stuff. Here's the photos:

The kitchen and the down stair bathroom are cleared, Day Sailer #3000 is back on her trailer, and got the electronics in the living room out on the lawn for inspection by the insurance people when they show up.
The sunfish were extracated form ther fallen limbs surrounding them and place in a part of the yard away from the work. We sawed up the fallen limbs and continued to clean the place up.
We moved the sunfish to the bakc, and emptied the refrigerator
During one of the breaks I went up to the Red Cross disaster relief truck on the corner of 9th St and FM 517, just to ask where the nearest FEMA Point of distribution was to get a bag of ice. They handed gave us a bag right there, and said they were going to start serving hot meals. I had had one of these meals yesterday, it was really good to have some hot beef stew after several hours of raking fulthy muck out ofthe house and trying to identify things that might hold some small value.
I plan to donate some money to the American Red Cross after this is all over, and if you feel like doing something good, I recommend sending a donation to them.
They are good folks doing tough work for people who are so taken up with restoring their part of the world or even just trying to survive that they may seem ungrateful, but are not.
More tomorrow!
