Lost power again half an hour ago. Wind is still very gusty, but at least the rains are done.

Still no power here, but I have so much to be thankful for. No damage to report. I didn't go to bed until 2 am. I wasn't going to sleep with those roaring winds. Thank you to all who have contributed to our discussions and understanding for this storm. Prayers and love for those who have suffered so much in SWLA.
