Hurricane Katrina!!!

[Jwrussell]

Hmmmm...yeah, haven't seen him online recently. Last time I talked to him they weren't really expecting that much...might have been before the shift though?

He is likely without power. He is in the area that Katrina was still a tropical storm.

Hey guys I'm still here. That 2 dolla' ho' hit me pretty hard. No power or telephone lines and my cell phone ran out of power. So I bought a car charger so call me if you need me. I don't have much time for an update but wrote a bigger update in the CBNC room at CW. But I'm safe, just without power which is like a suana in my house!

Glad to hear it, but how are the cigars? hah

Great to hear you're okay bro.

Has anyone heard from Ben (MS Rifleman) too?

 

[Wasch_24]

Nothing here...Cliff said Ben lives like 10 miles from the Gulf and wasn't leaving.

If you zoom in/out, you can see how far lateral Gautier is from Biloxi and I think Ben said it was 2 miles from the water.

That is not good. Not good at all. That area is the area that looks the most destroyed on the television.

I really, really hope he evacuated.

Cliff, glad to hear you are still with us.

 

[caudio51]

Glad to see you around Cliff! Thoughts and prayers our for everyone

 

[smokem94]

I too am very happy you are OK!

Good to hear that yer hangin' in there, Cliff. My mother, grandmother, and the rest of that side of the family live out in Flowood. (They've sorta built there own subdivision there) So far, it sounds like the biggest casualty is Mom's screen porch, upon which an uprooted tree came to rest.

My 84-year-old grandmother...who still bushhogs the field on her old Ford tractor, bless her cantakerous heart...decided to just go to bed and sleep through it. That way, if the house fell on her, she'd not know it...and if it was merely damaged, she'd be well-rested to deal with it in the morning.

Still haven't heard much about a step-brother in Houma LA, though.

Anyone hear from Ben?

 

[Wasch_24]

Not yet.

 

[cvm4]

Kinda worried about Ben now!

 

[Kingston]

Looks like Ben is ok:

From IndyBlu:

Hey guys,
Just wanted to check in, we are alive and well and in Indiana for right now but will be heading back to Mississippi soon. I got a text message from Mississippi Rifleman and he and his are all fine too.

 

[Eric]

Great news!!!

 

[Wasch_24]

That is great to hear...I was kinda worried as well.
