Day 9..continued

Finally, the road to our house was opened. The
OEM site which we have been told to closely monitor,
like the reverse 911 DID NOT WORK. We heard from
neighbors who just got fed up and went home and
discovered they were let through without a hassle.

Amazingly, our house stands. The fire burned to
the foundation on three sides. Clearly, there
were many hands working to save it.

The horse barn is flat as is the solar hut. Many
thousands of dollars of flattened batteries, but
we have 12 of the 15 solar panels still there!!

The house, inside, smelled a little smokey, but
not bad. I'm sure it'll be fine tomorrow. We
left the windows opened tonight.

This evening I hosted a Salina Ladies Night.
It was fun, much laughter mixed with tears, but
a good feeling all around. I'm so glad I did
that.

Tomorrow at 9:30 AM I shall be at Julie's house
when she comes to see it for the first time. Her
brother is driving her up and several of us ladies
will be there for support, too. I have not seen
her house, yet. Couldn't manage that today. We
were only up there a couple of hours and had to
take care of getting the solar stuff into the
barn and checking out everything around the house.

More tomorrow...
