This is when the storm was really subsiding. The scariest part of the storm was while it was dark. We were extremely blessed during this storm. We just lost a few shingles. That was the case for our whole neighborhood, as well as a few small trees down. Our power was only out for 12 hours. Some people may not have power for a couple weeks. There were 4.5 million people without power. We are lucky there are no big trees right here to knck over our power lines. In all the old neighborhoods around our house it is a totally different story. There are big trees down all over the roads and on some houses. One family in our ward lost part of their roof and can't stay in their house. We are not having church today. We will be having some families from the ward over who don't have power yet. It is miserably hot with near 100% humidity in the houses without AC. We are actually being blessed with a cold front coming in tonight if we can get through today. The other problem for today is we had a huge thunderstorm roll through this morning and drop an addtional 4 inches of rain (6 inches yesterday). We have some small miner leaks in the attic from the rain today, but we found them early enough to stop any damage. Thanks for all the prayers. They really worked for us during this storm.

Thankfully you guys are OK. We were praying and thinking about you. I have been out of touch for a couple of days helping Kris Pasker take his 15 year old son on a (sucessful) elk hunt. I was eager to find out how things were down there. Thanks for the blog update. As you know having camping gear and knowing to use it is a blessing. Keep in touch.
We're glad you survived--we'll keep praying for you & those around you.
those were some crazy videos! we're thankful everything is okay for you!
