We're pretty sure Cyn's didn't. I've heard conflicting reports about Joel and Krissy's area, and I'm not sure about Beverly's. I'm pretty sure Matthew's (actually, my aunt's but we don't really get along) is ok, and he mostly lives on the boat anyway.

Huh. That's good information because I seem to have issues with pics in lj.
I should be asleep, but sadly, I'm awake and trying to finish work. GR.
We still haven't heard from my aunt. But I sent my mom the info about text messageing,maybe that will help.
