having trouble also
Have not heard from John, power is still out and probably will be for 10 days to 2 weeks I hear.We might go check monday.We lost power at 8 pm friday night, way before the storm even hit.Will check back in later.
Regular FR is up. I’m connected to http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2081430/posts?page=2394
I know there’s a yahoo site or something but I forget the name or my password or anything like that.
I have all those alternate sites on my desk top computer. I was too lazy to go into my office to pull up those sites. Thanks for posting it.
Believe me, it’s been down for many of us for hours. Check the posts:

Yeah, it’s up. Still acting kind of sickly though.
That is tragic. Swept away in vehicles?
Wow .... sad sad sad.
Tomorrow’s going to be tough. I’m doing a lot of praying .. many things are very volatile right now.
Going to grab a bite .. been monkeying between the 3 FR
places for over an hour.
Everything ok up there? We have a thunderstorm going on and are under a flood watch. Cold front coming thru.
I got a little ansy this evening. I took my grandsons home and people are putting UP plywood. I was thinking now what. I’ve been staying off WU and thought maybe something popped up. Nada. I don’t know what the neighborhood plwood party was about.
Two Dead In St. Louis Area After Ike Rages Through (1 more missing and presumed dead per local news)

I’m going to bed.
Last I saw, death toll from Ike was 21 people in 9 states, and JMHO, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Not to mention the billions of dollars in property damages and rising gasoline prices...
Very very sad.
Well I guess they didn’t do it or maybe it got washed away. He can’t very well go around saying too bad, go hungry though. Besides I think the supplies he was upset about are for the responders.
I just found out that there was a “special session” of commodities today. Prices are stable or down for oil/gas.
As I (hopefully) predicted.
IKE seems NOT to be a big event, except in the mind of the Dinosaur media. ... now, OTHER news not related to Ike... I’ve been so far out of the loop the last three days I’ve ZERO idea.
Crystal Beach, Gilcrist and Bolivar are gone...there are people that stayed and were found alive. That is farm country in that area and there are cattle roaming around looking pretty bad. There are those going in to take care of the animals in distress...they need water...there are plenty of alligators swimming around also.
Elderly couple pushing car to higher ground after water rushed in to their U-City subdivision. Man found, woman still missing and presumed dead.
The other was a lady who was hit by a large tree branch in Ladue Mo (part of STL County)
I live about 80 miles south of STL and we had 35 to 50 mph substained winds today. The whole area is under a flash flood warning currently and we are expecting moderate to major flooding again on the Mississippi River later in the week. (15+ foot above flood stage)
Heads up to the folks in the path of TS IKE. (Northeast states)
KHOU earlier showed an animal shelter with something like 40 squirrels in it. They said concerned residents noticed that the rodentia didn’t have a home anymore and brought them to the shelter.
I’m having a hard time reconciling independent gun-toting Texans with rescuing wild park animals (vermin) that can make their own way to higher ground.
