Had to drive to another town to get any connections to check in with friends and family.

Very , very ungood. 

Talked with a ga power lineman inspector.  It will be 5 days before we have power. The pole that’s about 100 yards from the house will have to be replaced. It’s been there since 1955. The transformer and “ guts” are on the ground wrapped in a downed oak tree.   Down to 1 bar from the Verizon tower for the past 2 days. 

Dublin is a madhouse. Fisticuffs in the chick fil a drive through line today. Damn chicken sandwich ain’t worth fighting over or risk getting shot about. Folks are jamming the gas stations and hoarding gas . 

Just glad to be on this side of the grass. There’s no such thing as awful, this is all just a temporary inconvenience.
