Oh rats! You have definitely had more than your share of ick this year. Sending prayers, boops, purrs and long distance hugs. Be better soon David and take care too Lady Bri.
I looked back and on 10/8 he said he lived in Temple Terrace and it was at a higher elevation. Of course, it could still be lacking power and or cell service. But I join you all in wishing someone would hear from him. That whole area is in such a scary situation.
Years back in our old house we had a major ice dam in our kitchen sink drain which made a major mess. Since we were planning to build new when we retired, I then and there vowed “no plumbing runs on outside walls above grade. So since the refrigerator is on an outside wall, there is no water line at all here either. Luckily you can still buy refrigerators without the water feature and I hope there will be if ever we have to replace this one ( knock on wood it lasts ).
Just saw your travel note below; glad you are having a good trip.
