2 Sep: We are home! The house survived with minor damage to the outside (shutters are gone or hanging loose). The inside is fine also, with the exception of some water leaking from the roof into the inside ceiling of the living room. It's not leaking into the house or cavng in or anything, just looks water stained. I've called maintenance and they should be here sometime this week.
It doesn't seem like Gustav beat up our area up too badly, no major flooding or damage like Katrina. School starts back up tomorrow and so does work. I hope the rest of the base residence faired as well as we did. And I hope those who aren't that lucky are able to recover quickly :)

1 Sep: Well, we are still in Birmingham but HOPE to be able to head back home tomorrow. The storm doesn't seem like it was too bad, but we'll know more tomorrow when people are released from the on-base shelters. That's all for now.....hope the levees stand!!
