I feel I have been a tad of a dork. I did not put it all together, or perhaps I did but was in denial about the whole thing. My comments were probably a tad insensitive with my gripe about no power when you have lost your home and many belongings, including your car. I think I did refuse to believe that that happened here. Thinking, "No, this isn't really for her building. It is not condemned. That didn't happen here. I am just jumping to conclusions," but it really happened. It is something I would have expected on the west coast where Charley hit the hardest. But not here. Except it did. And I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I give my full report of our experience with Hurricane Charley later, when I have my own computer and sufficient time to tell the story.

Hi,I was cut off from technology for a while so I missed the news about Hurricane Charley. I just hope you and your family are OK.
I don't think you were insensitive, I think you were simply coping. Usually in situations like that - when something very bad is going on around you you concentrate on small, insignificant problems so that you might not break down completely. It's a natural defensive mechanism. The reality will hit you sooner or later though. Trust me, I know how it works, we had some great floods here both this year and in the past so I had seen many people lose their houses and their belongings to natural disasters. And each time I behaved exactly like you
