Don't blame you a bit. I also felt in my bones that this one may be bigger
than Alicia and, had we still had a kid at home, we would have joined you up
by White Hall and would not have even considered riding it out. As it was, I
promised SWMBO that if it stayed a Cat 4/5 late on that Friday, I would
reconsider. I just had too much at stake here on the ground, and was
tickled to be wrong.

Glad to hear you're back and no worse for wear.

If Keats had been a wooddorker with a shop to baby through a hurricane, he'd
forgotten all about that damn turkey ... or whatever kind of bird it was!

Good to hear you've weathered the brunt. How did the build-project fare?

Swingman! Swingman! Are you alright? That branch that blew down whacked
you upside the head pretty good. :-)

Good one sir; glad that things are looking OK

If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough

The fact that you're able to have a laugh over it is a good sign. We lived
in the Back Bay area of Biloxi years ago and the high water mark in our
living room was at 7'. I think it made it well past that point this time
around from what I've seen on the news.

Glad you're okay - tools can be cleaned and roofs replaced.

I gotta say, after 4 previous hurricanes under my belt I truly felt my
family was going to come home to a total disaster. We evacuated to New Ulm
and stayed with my sister and friends. Fortunately we missed the big
exodus.
