tinytherese Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 In Iowa last Monday a big storm hit. Cedar Rapids especially got it bad. There's plenty of damage. We've been without power, internet, limited cell phone service, and landlines. This morning one part of town has power and internet. Cell phone usage has improved in this area. We don't know if it'll last. They say things won't get back together for days or weeks. I'm working in the small part of town that works at my mom's office. The generator's usage at my house and Grandma's are about to go out since we don't have gas left. Has is scarce unless we want to travel around the state in search of it. We'll have to throw away the food from our fridge. Please pray for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm typing this from a laundromat with wifi. ) it has gotten super stale and kinda apocalypse now in my neighborhood. we are told power might come back Friday or Saturday. I was like ... whut-tuh did you say? we threw out our fridge and freezer food today. RIP turkey breast and steaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinytherese Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Some family members and I went on vacation to Colorado. We'll see my brother and his wife. I don't think that the power and internet are back yet in my hometown. My job lets me work from wherever, so I've only missed one day of work which was the day after the storm when I couldn't get a hold of anyone and didn't have internet.

tinytherese Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 I've been told that some of my city has internet connection, but that it's unstable. My home doesn't have it yet. I may need to work in my mom's office again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
