this morning #766.

this morning, with the aid of fresh sunlight, i could now see that there was an insane amount of water damage throughout the house. as the winds swirled around outside last night, we’d taken shelter down in the basement. once the worst had passed, we came back upstairs. no power. eerily quiet but for a steady stream of water from somewhere inside. the cat nowhere to be found. after stumbling around in the dark, our only option was to retreat to the safety of our beds & leave things for a new day. i only fell asleep for a few hours. it simply wasn’t enough to ready me for this sort of stuff. as i made my way onto what was left of the front porch, i could see we hadn’t got the worst of it.
