House is fine. Completely dry. Am actually thinking of getting all my electronics down tomorrow from on top of the cupboards. Now we're just waiting for the power to come back on. Cold showers NOT FUN!!!! was apparently shivering this evening after mine. Being woken up every morning by rescue choppers, news choppers, and private choppers hovering over our area is driving us all a little nuts. Tempers are fraying a little. Family friends lent us a camp stove though and neighbours behind us, who still have power....lucky bastards, threw a long extension chord over our fence so we could put the fridge/freezer back on and rescue our perishables. It's all a waiting game right now.
