Good to know that you made it through! Since you're going to be getting a wired mouse, maybe you could use one of your wireless mice and some duct tape to make some roof repairs!

Wow. We complain about our temperate climate in Scotland (cool, wet, breezy) but we never have to face storms like you guys get.

Good luck getting back to normal James. That Generator suggestion sounds like a good idea, and we expect a full review of how many gadgets you can run off it! :-)

Glad to hear you are okay. We went 9 days w/o power in 04, and 6 days on 05 here in Florida. We had a generator in 05 and that kept the fridge running and the occasional Tivo'd movie so I highly recommend one if you do not have a generator. Good luck and hopefully soon you will get power.

James,

I'm happy to hear you and your family made it through safely.

Great notes on type of tech equipment needed for such a situation.
