Glade you made it. A hurricane is a very scarry thing to go through. In my Coast Guard time I went through at least 8 of them, the last one was Andrew when I lost my house in Miami then retired right after it. Hope more people came through it O.K. but it looks like a massive lose of life in three states.

Thanks
I just bought my blazer from a family in Houma a couple of days before the hurricane that showed up a couple of months ago ( don't remember the name). It stayed down there through that one. So of course I have been wondering how bad you would have been hit by this one. Glad to hear it was mostly only trees in your area. Thanks for the update.

Seriously, that is awesome, haven't heard much good news lately in relation to the hurricane. Nothing is harder to repair than life itself, glad to hear you are alright.

Those pictures look alot like things here just not as many trees in the area, alot of roof damage. The company i work for had thier main office in New orleans. Now everyone is working in the little field office i work out of, it is a little crowded but we all have a job and a place to work, things could be a lot worse.
And thanks for all the kind words.
