A few people asked to keep the board informed on the flooding from the hurricane.
We ended up with 19 inches in the house. That is wonderful compared to what we expected after seeing photos and hearing reports from people around the neighborhood. We obviously lost a lot and have a lot of cleaning ahead of us but so much was spared that we figured so certainly gone.
The blessing came though to see my sister and brother-in-law's house had minimal damage. We pulled up carpet in two rooms and will need to replace maybe three sheets worth of sheetrock but that is it. They were in an area that was bad off but they sat high enough to be ok. 3 blocks away is just wrecked.
So we have a place to stay through all this so we'll be fine. Plus, crews were all over the place already working on the power lines so it shouldn't be too long. My dad works for Entergy and he pointed out that they had so many crews down here already in Louisiana and Arkansas working on the Gustav recovery, they got in to the area very quickly.
Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers and I will check in whenever I can.
