cleaning up weirdness

Two friends accompanied me back down to the house Friday and we flung open windows, took up carpet and linoleum, knocked holes in drywall, lifted and dragged and tossed and piled. The neighborhood still is a “mandatory evacuation” zone, but recovery is beginning and the few city reps and utility company employees making it down there to inspect water, sewer, power, etc., turn a blind eye to our presence.

I’ve posted photos from the cleanup effort on my Facebook site, here…

You need an account to see it, but accounts are free and fun and you can sign up and “friend” me and follow the progress of our cleanup and reconstruction.

We have a neighborhood meeting at the Iowa City public library today and shall see what information that brings. Beforehand I have an appointment with the FEMA inspector who’s come to town–I’m to look for him in his green van in the Perkins’ parking lot in Coralville!
