And a great civil war area too. It would be..strange..if the floods uprooted some era skeletons (with grey unis) and floated them downstream.
"If Buckner had'nt made that error at 1st, If Joel Finch wasn't put in during the 7th inning back in 1975."
I mean, I guess we'd expect it to be evacuated but wouldn't SOMEBODY with a cell phone have ridden it out?
You're making me hungry!
I dont know if its still there or not (N Hollywood)...used to go all the time..
It's a wonder that a house can remain standing with water that high.
I haven't heard anything from Picayune, MS yet either.
He means Sid Finch.
Well I guess that means Shep was a bit over-confident last night. There is some flooding after all.
Cell phones tend to be useless when the towers go down or the backup power systems finally run out of power.
Well, I don't want to minimize things, but I've been through 90mph hurricane winds, and we didn't lose any windows(just protected with tape), so odds are that they'll probably be ok. Watch out for falling trees, pines are especially bad about easily snapping mid trunk.
Wow, 101 years old! I've bet she's blessed you with tellings of many great stories.
You would also have to expect that the cell phone towers survived.
There was a church left on Galveston, but not a lot else. So they were free to grade the island and build their seawall.
all the cell towers could be down....and those fancy public safety radio systems are notorious for failing...La. has a statewide system.
My experience is that cell phones are
the first thing to go in a hurricane
Can you imagine the clean up.
The thing that grosses me out about hurricanes is the poisonous snakes that go to dry land.
My grandparents had a little beach house on an island off of Galveston. There was a hurricane that hit there. Before the hurricane, the island didn't have snakes. After the hurricane, the island had lots of snakes.
The news crawl on ch6 says that 4 feet of water went over the levee in St Bernards parish
