Our little family came through just fine. We had to throw away the stuff in the freezer, but it was a good opportunity for a thorough cleaning which was past due anyway.
I was just down at the local grocer where they were tossing out all the stuff they lost from their freezers. Ouch, that must have been very expensive!
With some key bridges out, I will have to figure out some new biking routes. With all the local damage it could be a long time before everything gets fixed. I have seen remnants of bridges around that look to have been washed away decades ago - perhaps some local bridges will just be abandoned - but probably only the least useful ones.
Looking at the images from the towns not too far away, we sure do feel lucky to have come away essentially unscathed.
