We've had some severe storms here this year but we had a hell of a windstorm blow through Thursday night - 80mph gusts on the high bluff. We lost power until Saturday morning. I'm posting as fast as I can while we still have power in case it goes out again. We spent all day yesterday cutting people out of their driveways and homes from fallen trees and our ferry dock is in the water. It's our only access to the mainland so until it's fixed (3-7 days) we will have no access to the mainland and they no access to us which means.....
No mail, no UPS, no fuel, no extra food aside from the General Store. So if we have it it'll ship the next week and if you sent it - Brody - it'll get here ASAP as soon as they can get it here and we'll turn it around the next day. You don't have to fret about it - they'll hold onto it till they can deliver it.
Fortunately we have a woodstove for heat and we have buckets of water for toilets and jugs of water for washing. I have many weeks/months of food and we have a grill although I cooked in the woodstove 'cuz it was too darn cold with the windchill (below zero) to go outside and grill. Everything got a foil wrap and got thrown in the fire so we're doin' good with hot food and plenty of anything cold.
We'll keep you posted but it's okay to place the orders online or call us - we have a hardline phone so we're getting calls no problem. Orders will be shipped as soon as UPS or USPS can get to the island - some time next week.
