Captain?

Thu Aug 30, 2012 2:18 pm

Anyone hear from Tom and how he is doing? Wondering if the Gulf has gone far enough inland to be at his front door? Hope all is good Captain. :D

Gulf was about 18 inches from my front door and back door. We faired OK. I am on generator power and the beer is cold. Did this drill more than once. Now the clean up begins.

This AM as I was departing for a meeting a news cast indicated La Place was flooding....My thoughts and prayers were about you and yours..

Just returned home and read your post...I, and I suspect the entire board, is relieved that you are safe and sound.

Get dry and stay dry,

Glad to hear you're well Capt. Was thinking of you yesterday.

Thank God you have 18 inches left AND cold beer! Life is good. I'm glad everything is going as well as it could be.

Seems like hurricanes have a zero on the Crescent City as of late. My brother and sister are riding it out, brother lives north of the lake and sister lives in the city, she has some damage.

I am relieved to hear from Captain and that all is well (that is important--like beer :) ), you know if anyone is prepared, he is.

We lost the internet for about 48 hours, cable TV is hit or miss. We got water back Friday afternoon and power back last night. Things are improving slowly. Tailgated at the LSU/North Texas game yesterday in Baton Rouge. Beer still cold. All part of life in south Louisiana.

YEP! LSU Tailgate? You and Cyndy are back in the grove...Neither rain flood or hurricanes can keep you from LSU games

We were up at 6:00 AM to see ND destroy Navy 50 to 10 in Dublin Ireland...Later on to CalPoly to see CalPoly destroy SD State...The season has begun...
