Hi Onyx!
I posted this on Friday—my two boys are in Ocean County NJ where Sandy hit hard:
“I have two sons pulling up to 22 hour shifts, one guarding downed power lines in Monmouth County, the other trying to get the phone system up at the Seaside Heights police station. One got his home’s power restored yesterday in Toms River, and one is still without power in Lakehurst.
They have put up with no heat, no gasoline, no showers—yet they get up each morning to do their best in the face of utter devastation.
We live in southern DE, and we got through Sandy with very few problems.
This afternoon we were in Dover, DE, and saw a fifteen truck convoy from Chain Electric from somewhere in Mississippi heading north
Well,I lost it, knowing they were on the way to help my sons and so many others in NY and Nj who need them so much. God bless them for coming to help, it was like watching the Cavalry come to the rescue.”
I later found out Chain Electric is from Hattiesburg, MS.
Thank you, Mississippi, for the help!!!
God bless you and your two awesome sons.
I’m so sorry they were hit hard by this fierce storm, and good to know you’re OKay.
Very happy to know the good folks of Chain Electric, Hattiesburg, MS are helping out.
A team from Alabama were turned away because they were not union!
Yep, Chain Electric is from Hattiesburg MS, my hometown!! Glad to know they’re ‘paying it forward’ after all the help received from all over the country, after Katrina.
