Trying to get back to "Normal"

So I went into the office today and had a video conference with India at 7:30AM. Mostly it was a re-connection so we can plan for full meetings starting next week.

I've been over to the office since, but I haven't started fixing things. All of the PCs are still on desks and chairs in case the office flooded. Lots of things not plugged in. I'm putting a plan together so that my workers will come in on Monday and start getting everything back to "normal".

We didn't flood. We lost power for only 2 hours due to a tree falling on a power line. Most of the neighborhood is still flooded, but the streets are low enough that water didn't enter any homes (that we are aware). There are rumors of looting, but some of the stories are far fetched. I am, however armed at all times.

The local area is a mess. The roads are flooded in those areas in the re-dashes.



Here is a zoom in on the elevation map. The blue areas were the maximum extent of water.
