Members affected by Hurricane Ike

Just checking in. I had to deploy to an off-site location for the storm, but my wife stayed home and rode the storm out with all the critters.



She is fine and the house made it out with just a little damage. If you've seen any pictures, you know we were very fortunate. We even got power back the day after the storm



MDW rode the storm out a few miles from Galveston and is also fine with minimal damage to the shop down in Hitchcock. He also has power down there as well.







Just a few pictures from the local newspaper's website:

Also, I'll be heading back in the next few days and if anyone needs anything, I'll do what I can to help.

I got an email from BigEasy- he was in Okla. City for training. His stuff was @ the location at Clam Lake and everything there, including 2 trucks (GMC's) was lost.
