What a bummer, yet it's fortunate that you and your home are still largely intact. Ouch on the condition of the Tapa Room!

I really understand what living without electricity means. Florida without air conditioning is primative and basically uninhabitable. The 2004 Florida hurricanes underscored that, leaving me without power at home for 5 days on the first, 3 days on the second and none for the subsequent storm... by the third hurricane, I had acquired a portable generator with enough kilowatts of output to keep refrigerators, freezers, fans, lights, etc. going, so it was livable if not exactly comfortable... and the portable gas grill got quite a workout.

Here's hoping you do in fact come home to modern conveniences...
