They're officially letting people back on the island today. I've heard that there is a long line and that it is not moving. Greg and I will be waiting to go back until this weekend sometime. Kyle and Sophie will stay here with my parents. It's just not safe/sanitary down there right now.
We are really not sure what we will find. We know that our house is standing and that it has a roof, but we aren't sure of the flood damage. I'm trying to prepare myself emotionally for what I might see.
We will be taking pictures for insurance and bringing what we can back to D'ville with us.
Greg is tentatively scheduled to start school again on October 6th, but that seems very optimistic in our opinions. Greg said that the administration is trying to sound very upbeat, but we all know that it could be months before anyone will have a livable home or apartment.
We are just so thankful to have a place to stay. We are also appreciative of all the thoughts and prayers. We are hanging in there and are staying strong for Kyle. He is our #1 priority.

I can't imagine the stress you must be feeling not knowing if your house is ok or not. My in laws house in Galveston is ok. It is set up kinda like an apartment...the downstairs got 6 ft of water so it is not liveable, but the upstairs didn't get touched! They are currently living upstairs with a generator for power. Let me know about your place.
