Default Thank you For your thoughts and prayers

Well .. were about back to normal now and we have power to most everyone and the plant weathered the storm .. so Thank God were all OK ..

Mother nature is so unpredictable .. The point of the storm was to come on shore at Galveston Texas .. 50 miles from me .. but at the last minute it turned and went in 15 miles from my home .. so we got the brunt of it ..60 to 70 mile a hour winds .. We survived with out any deaths or injuries and it was hairy for awhile .. but were all ok .. Lost power for a day .. but back on ..

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers .. I know it had something to do with our safety ..

God Bless all of you and Thank you so much for thinking about us ..

Gene

Glad to hear that everything worked out. When you didn't come right back on I figured that you'd lost power! We were all pulling for you!

Glad you all weathered this one Gene. But there will be more to come. There always is. Was instant messaging daughter who lives in So. Cal when the last 5.4 quake struck last week. All she said was "yikes, that was a good one". Do you all really get used to those weather events???

Glad you're OK.
