Thanks, Larry. The tree has already been removed and the roof tarped, the insurance adjuster has made his report, and the roofer and his subcontractors get started tomorrow, so we're in good shape for a quick recovery.
We also made the last two fixes we needed to make on Plum today, so that's in good shape, too.

I am glad to hear everyone is safe though. Hopefully it won't take long to get the repairs needed. You and your family are in our prayers. Larry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Churvis Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2004 12:54 PM To: Plum Discussion List Subject: [plum] Ivan got us Folks, Hurricane Ivan got us, big time. We were teaching the MX Master Class on Thursday when suddenly *brrrrAAAMMM!!!* It sounded like a bomb had gone off. A huge tree split off from itself and landed squarely on the roof over the office, punching three big holes in the roof. It looked like it just landed on the surface at first, but water started dripping on the door frame soon afterward. Within twenty minutes there were splotches on the office ceiling, so we evacuated the office. It was already around 6:00 PM so we ended the class an hour early. Then the water started dripping through. We started placing buckets and moving out all the equipment, and it was just in time because within an hour the ceiling buckled and collapsed, along with waterlogged insulation, pine cones, pine needles, and bark. Over the next ten hours more and more of the ceiling fell, and we bailed water. Thank God no one was hurt. We finished the last day of training in my living room. Anyway, David and I have an abbreviated office setup in the living room (the computer rack, networking, and a folding table for the two of us), but we're going to need a couple of extra days to get the next release out to everyone. This has really put us in a bad position, and we're under quite a lot of stress right now, so please bear with us as we manage both the next Plum release and having part of our home rebuilt. Thanks for understanding. We'll be back with you soon.
