No internet is a major nuisance, in this day and age. I'm assuming there are a few places with net access, or we wouldn't be hearing from you. A friend's place? Or a local library or coffee shop? I'm always looking for tips on ways to make life easier if the usual systems are knocked out for a bit...
A couple months ago we had a protracted power outage where I live (rare, since it's an urban area), and a lot of people (not me, fortunately) were caught out because they didn't have basics like batteries or candles, or even good old fashioned cash for the grocery stores.
Hope you at least have light and electricity at home, and can stay dry!
