There was damaged furniture...http://jenlars.mu.nu/archives/267248.html Fingers Crossed- June 22, 2008 I'll be allowed back on property this afternoon...my side of the complex got off easier than the other, despite being closer to the water source.

Or something. The only recent aerial photos do not show my specific building, but other buildings...http://jenlars.mu.nu/archives/266766.html I'll Give You a Topic...- June 14, 2008 Am I justified in being completely livid that thousands of people becoming homeless and losing everything has become old news in the face of one single guy who is not the President dying of a heart attack Or am I...http://jenlars.mu.nu/archives/266661.html It's Only Stuff- June 14, 2008 Aerial photos show my apartment building surrounded by water. Water levels are expected to go up another 5 feet. Yep....http://jenlars.mu.nu/archives/266644.html Briefly...- June 13, 2008 At my parents' house. Have housing lined up in the I.C. for my return after the weekend.
