I hope that things are better for y'all tomorrow. We've gone without electricity many times in the past, most notably after Hurricane Hugo. Hope that things are better in the morning.

One thing is for sure you are luckier than those miners that are trapped.

GOD bless.

Miners Trapped In Salt Mine
All Workers Get Out Unharmed

UPDATED: 11:30 p.m. EDT August 14, 2003

GRAND RIVER, Ohio -- Several miners were trapped Thursday in the Morton Salt Mine in Grand River when the power went out, but they are now safe.

According to NewsChannel5, the miners were about a mile and a half inside the mine. When the power went out, the elevators stopped working.

The miners were trapped for about four to five hours. They did get out about 10 p.m.


One man's wife said that the men did have enough oxygen. She just wanted her husband out safely.

"God, make sure he gets through this OK, that's all I was worried about. Just get him out OK," said Andrea.

All the men are safe.


THE CANADIAN MINERS ARE STILL STUCK THOUGH
