Those are the things that are difficult to find. Most of the gardens were washed away and so there aren't as many vegetables at market and those we manage to find are very pricey. We are almost out of propane -several empty tanks. But so far we can't seem to find any place selling propane … Continue reading Food, Propane, Diesel

People are back on their roofs, roads and bridges are washed away, no food or … Continue reading Hurricane Ike
