Sick and tired of all of this.
We can't cut a break.
First the hurricane takes out the entire barrier island my parents live on including both of their vehicles.
They move to my sisters house.
Then the nor'eastern gets my sister's home evacuated.
They all move to my brothers house.
Then a tree falls taking out the power that is heating a home to (currently) 6 adults, 4 children, 4 dogs, 2 cats and a parrot.
And now its snowing. And the rental market is so overwhelmed by people who are now homeless that we've had zero luck in finding a rental for my parents who won't be allowed home for the next 4-8 months.
When are we going to catch a break??

Yes, I can only imagine how frustrated and stressed out you all must be. What a terrible time. I'm sorry, and I hope things get better-- and no more storms for awhile.

I hear you! It's frustrating and so tiring not having "normal". Just doing any little thing takes so much energy. Not knowing when things will get better makes everything even harder.
We were like that here when the ice storm hit in January 2007 - without power for a week to two weeks, and as soon as the power went out the temps plunged to 4 degrees. Cold and dark is no fun.
Every time the electric even blinked, for years after, all of us neighbors would hold our breath and will the power to come back on. Last month a windstorm took out a transformer and we all were calm about it. Finally.
It takes a while for things to get better, but they will.

It has been a hard 10 days in NJ/NY. It's just draining. The entire state of NJ was affected in one way or another, and most of NY.
Our NJ "shore" coast line and surrounding communities took a direct hit, as did NYC and Long Island. The storm surge from the ocean swept people up during the night on Staten Island... very very awful conditions. Some communities on our shore are gone forever!!!!! I cry everytime I see it on the news, and in the upcoming weeks, I'm going to go down and survey it myself.
Yesterday was day 9 for us being without power, but thankfully I have a home to go back to!!! Our power was restored last night, and we will go back today after school and work.
I will pray for your family Dulcee. I hope they can find a place to live. Please know that our Northern NJ communities are in action and sending teams daily of volunteers to help in anyway we can.

Thanks for all the kind words. We think we've finally found my parents a short term rental. Things remain frustrating as our town is one of the few on the barrier island that STILL hasn't allowed residents into their homes to begin repairs. Every day that the water damage sits it just gets worst.
Hoping things begin to turn around soon.

Glad to hear that you found a rental for your parents, but wow--I can only imagine the stress. Sending positive thoughts for the power coming back on (and heat!)
