As you all know very well, Hurricane Lili is threatening so I will be off line for a day or two (as will most of you no doubt). I will catch up, or try to, once the storm has passed, but we may without power for quite some time. If you write to me directly, or on the group, after 10:00 or 11:00 PM CST today, I will probably not be able to respond. We are not in the direct line of Lili, but Lili is a very strong storm and will probably knock out power and cable for us, as for many of the rest of the group.
Flooding is unlikely for my area; I made sure of that before I bought the house. It hasn't flooded in this area for two hundred years. Still; a category 5 can drop 4 to 5 inches of rain per hour, for ten to twelve hours, and by anyone's scale, that is a lot of rain. My family will keep you and your's in our prayers. Please keep my family and the other families in harm's way in your prayers. I am taking my small LAN down tonight before we go to bed. I will talk to Ya'll when I can. Keep your heads down friends. Remember, don't drink the water -- You would not believe what the fish do in that stuff! If you need help, and cannot get a response, try my cell phone: 8069715. If you can raise me, I can raise help. I have found that my Nextel works when some others do not. Good luck. God Bless.
