All is well here. We had only minor stuff....limbs down, etc... No fishtank casualties, thankfully. Hope everyone else is ok, and came through with only minor damage and minimal loss of fish/coral.

Personally just from my own stupidity.

I got a little water through the front door but nothing to worry about.

The people that lived around D.I.P. and Hamilton got it really bad, has anyone heard from Scott ?

I heard from him the other day. He called about the generator that I have for sale for his mother (I think). He seemed to be ok.

We're here and alive. I had lots of problems that I am trying to get resolved or at least patched. I've actually had power for a couple of days but not internet. My grandmother and dad don't but I have had pretty good success getting gas for their generator, didn't even have to wait 10 minutes last night but you could only get $40 worth.
Wanted: to set up a tank again.

Glad everyone is doing well. We are still without power. Water came back Friday, phone is spotty. Power is not expected back for about another week. I was finally able to get gas today also to keep the gen running.

So far our tank has had only a few casualties but work is really needing me back and with no one here to babysit I doubt it will make it much longer. I will check in when I can.

Thank God you're ok! Sorry about any tank casulties you might have had, but good to hear that you are doing ok.\

Is your house and your family ok?

Have you heard anything from John/Xster? I can't get in touch with him, and really hope he and his family are ok.

Brandon we came through extremely well considering the damage around us.

We watched our neighbors chimney get pealed off the side of there house and part fall through there roof while we sustained very little damage. Several family members living on the water lost everything. A friend came by and said my former workplace was leveled, a former coworker is still missing.

I have not heard from John. I really doubt they stayed here. I have not been down that way-going anywhere is a nightmare abd gas is hard to find-but I would guess that area was hit hard and likely flooded. I saw an areal shot of his hotel-still there but I'm sure its in bad shape. Hopefully his family are all someplace safe.

We talked to Terry last night and his spirtits are up as much as can be expected. He lost anything form chest down. Tank was at the curb. But he was working on his house to get back in order and fixed up, unlike so many out there. It is just so hard to believe that there can be this much devistation all over and be form an act of mother nature. My heart goes out to everyone with damage.
