I remember them well! I lurked for a number of years before joining FR and always lurked on the hurricane threads, until it was a hurricane (Rita) that actually drove me to join up.

I told JimRob that if I couldn’t get onto FR to post my location that Dubya and Rove wouldn’t know where to pick me up on the bus. In like Flinn, lol.

I’ll see what else I can find out about onyx’s whereabouts, but I can’t guarantee I’ll have any luck.

I don't wish Dean on any of you but I don't need another Rita hit. We had to evacuate for a month--tree on house--no electricity for a month. We had 7 BIG pines uprooted and were lucky that only one landed on the house. Since, we've had to cut several other trees that were damaged and died.

On top of that, I have a 91 year old bed-ridden mother with dementia living with me. Where I go, she goes. We will go again to my brother's in College Station. The home healthcare people there couldn't have been nicer last time--bringing hospital bed, etc.-- but I don't want to repeat. At least I have experience now knowing to to call. So, I'm going on R&R this weekend and will pack up and head out Tuesday if Dean turns north. (I'm near TX-LA state line).

Good luck to y'all.
