Author Topic: Come on down Krustyklimber prefers the bunny hugger pronunciation: ky o tee Member # 72 posted September 23, 2005 08:53 PM                    Damn!?!?! We're only halfway, I dunno how much more I can take. I'll be damned glad, when this thing is over.

That's about 36 miles south of Orange. Nothing but swamp and a big lake separating the 2 towns. They're predicting a 20' storm surge. Any looters are going to need SCUBA gear.

The surge didn't appear to materialize, either. I guess CW's mojo must have been working overtime. OK Ronnie, we're ready for a report. You OK?

I always have considered our members as extended family, but this is the flip of the coin; it's not all warm fuzzys. edit: In response to an inquiry I can see where the message was not as clear as it could have been. What I meant to convey is that (normally) dealing with members, things are upbeat and positive, and in this case there was (potentially) a life threatening situation. Instead of pleasant banter with folks about hunting coyotes, I was worried that somebody might drown, or at least lose everything he owns. "Warm fuzzies" is not a figure of speech that I use, normally? I think I got it from my sister? I had thoughts in my head all night long, and got up at 5 just to check on things and went back to bed for 40 winks. Now, it seems clear that we won't know how Ronnie has managed until he gets some relief, power, phone calls, whatever? Even carrier pidgens are grounded, they are talking about up to 25" of rain! I watched FOX reporters until past midnight getting blown around in the wind and rain. I got out a map of both states. Not once did they ever mention Orange, Texas, but all you have to do is look at a map and see that it's dead center of the storm. I was wondering about water coming in the house, furnature getting soaked, how do you protect vehicle ignitions, where to stash firearms, food, water, all that stuff? Flood insurance, some places, it's just not available. Like out here, earthquake insurance I cannot afford it any more, since the last one they jack up the rates. So, for sure, if anybody hears what is going on with member #37. Let us know because I'm sure that his welfare is on the mind of everyone that reads this Board. It sure gives a personal perspective on this force of Nature. Other than that, I don't know what to say? We just have to await word and think good thoughts. Good hunting.

It was the roughest... toughest... greatest... Texan voice coming through on the other end!!!!!!!! Yiiiiiiipppppeeeeeeeee He made it through!!! He is alright! A bit shaken... From all of you, he must have had a wall of angels protecting every wall of his exterior house. Everything is everywhere, a beautiful live oak came crashing down in his yard and the only thing that it did was the leaves are kissing the bedroom window. He got some water in his den via the seals in the sliding glass door. He woke up to find three new dogs and one longhorn wondering around. He said you can't go nowhere! Everything is covered by tree's and limbs and debre. He had someone that he had never met before coming to check up on him... Ronnie greeted him with the caution of course. It turns out that it's a real nice kid. He is coming back with chainsaws, Ronnie is firing up the tractor and they are going to go cutting to at least clear a spot of the road to the highway. The phone cut off right when I was asking how Judy was, now I can't get back through. I thought I heard she was good... but that's all I know. He is safe!!!!!!

He ask for me to call him back but I couldn't get through. I'm due North of him by a about 200 miles. The rain and winds started here early this morning. They say that it could last for a few days and rain up to 24". Hope not. Most of our gas stations ran out of gas yesterday and the shelves at the grocery store are barren.

Member # 7 posted September 24, 2005 12:58 PM                       Sheri, Thank you so very much for that good news. Like Leonard, I was up early, if troubled sleep can be called sleep at all, worrying and wondering what he was going thru. I guess those angels came thru for us, and for them. I never had my doubts. yuccabush, Sorry to hear about your sis's house. Hope she had time to get the important things packed up and carted away. And now, if y'all don't mind, I think I'll go find someplace quiet and breathe a sigh of relief. Well, it's several minutes later and my quiet place is at the computer. I just went to the NOAA site to see where the hurricane is, and just to show you how big that bitch is, it's getting cloudy here in northcentral Kansas as the first bands of clouds from the hurricane are now over head, our winds have subsided somewhat and the humidity has gone up notably in the past couple hours. SE KS is getting rain already from her. It's a full day's drive from here to Orange, TX and yet this storm spans the distance from here to Ronnie's. Sumbitch!

Unfortunately his other line was ringing and he had to put me on hold... so I will let that other line ringer fill in the rest of the details... grins He said it will be about 3-4 weeks before they have any kind of electric. He's still working his cell phone when he can get a signal. He said it is way worse than the national news is saying. They finally got a path cut to the highway. Him and a few young kids are working hard at cleanup. He said FEMA and the national guardsmen are doing a great job. He wanted me to get word out... then I was put on hold... take it hold... grins More news to come from the other line ringer... err... member to be cont'd...

Member # 7 posted September 26, 2005 03:17 PM                       Glad to hear he's still okay. Fox News showed about ten seconds of video this a.m. as one of their crews passed thru Orange on the way to someplace else. Lots of tree damage and, IK can only imagine, subsequent house and structural damage as well. Did he say how his house is since he's has a better opportunity to get out and assess it? -------------------- I am only one. But still, I am one.
