- After10+" inches rain, swimming pool water even w/ground & TEEMING w/very loud frogs. Like National Geographic special meets Exodus plagues. #
- Midnight. After 10 inches plus in a single day, rain still solid outside. #
- Cell & landlines gone (DSL still working). Huge tree fell beside Peace Hill Press office, sheared off power/phone/DSL; we'll be out a while. #
- DSL now out. So no phones, cell, power, or Internet. Texting only connection w/outside world. #
- Can get web access on iPhone for about 3 minutes at a time if I lean out of 3rd floor window & point it north. #
- I WANT CLEAN CLOTHES. #
- When power's out, best thing to do is work on 12th-century Aristotelian dialectic in theology…OK, that didn't even sound convincing to me. #
- Making cookies. Again. If power doesn't come on soon I will need a new and larger wardrobe. (But at least it will be clean.) #
- Dominion Power restoration estimate went from Saturday between 5 & 11 PM to "There is currently no estimate for your area." NOT A GOOD SIGN. #
- Power! Power power power power power power! #

Glad you are all safe. Up here in NoVA we escaped much of the storm.
I saw this in the New Yorker and thought of your apology book. Maybe it will make you laugh amongst the mess.

Hi susan, Glad you are safe. Here in Christchurch we have endured two devastating earthquakes in the last year so we know a bit about how you are feeling.
Tonight at bedtime I was telling my nine year old sons (avid readers of your history of the world series) about Dietrich Bonhoeffer. They were enthralled and wanted me to find them a book about him I have hunted for an hour for a childrens biography of bonhoeffer and can’t find one. Do you know of anything? Thought of writing one?
Best wishes
