We are fine here, but each storm system that comes through knocks out additional power service.  Typical stuff that happens during summer storms, but given that so many were out, some having just had power restored then having it knocked out again, it is just so much more dramatic and potentially dangerous.

All in all, most are coping well.  A few whiners who cannot seem to understand that they are not the only ones suffering!  (I might add that these are the same people complaining because no one has come to deliver what they need/want to them while the rest of us are taking care of ourselves and each other.  /snarkiness)  The reality is that many neighbors who did not know each other before are now working together, combining resources and sharing with each other.  That part looks pretty good!

Funny story.  Our neighbors took care of us almost too well!  Any one in our neighborhood who had to go check on a family member, or some other chore that took them somewhere would collect gasoline or whatever for whoever needed something.  Invariably, they also brought us things like fried chicken from the grocery deli, pizza, or other perishable foodstuffs.  We had TOO much store bought food here for a while! 

Meanwhile, the only emergency foodstuffs we touched were the big bottles of drinking water.  We will get into them in the next week or so as we wait for the grocery store delivery systems to normalize and for those who need them to restock.
