He's at his daughter's in TX. Just heard from him this morning. They
let them back into town yesterday. Got some damage but his house is
still standing. Lost a 400-year-old oak tree -- but at least it didn't
come down on his house. I hope he'll post here somehow -- he figures
his computer at home is dead.

If you get in touch with him, let him know that we have all been
thinking about them and hoping that everything really important is OK.
Look forward to his return to RFP.

I have and he asked me to post his note to me since he's only got Google
access. Will post under a separate thread. I told him we've all been
wondering and thinking the good thoughts.

It's good news about his house, bad news about the tree, and bummer news
about his computer. But he is alive and well!!!!!!!!!!!

In what condition are the preserves?
Eager survivalists need to know.

Not so. I turned everything off completely and set all components up on
a four foot high desk. It should respond if the humidity and heat in
the house hasn't destroyed anything. I can hope so anyway.

By the way, FEMA turned us down on the supposedly automatic $2k because
we were under a mandatory evac, seems we have replacement cost
homeowners. I guess I'll have to call my fellow Texan GW.

George, catching up on mail and thanks Barb for posting we were alive,
now I can't collect my life insurance. <BG>

Lost everything in the freezer William but the canned goods should
survive, even in the heat and humidity of Sulphur, LA. We will see for
sure tomorrow.

Indeed, electricity can't be trusted. Ours goes out in a stiff breeze.
I'll bet solar panels would keep working in one's absence, if they didn't
get blown away. The danger here in Ottawa is that things *would* freeze if
the electricity went off for a long time in winter. Beets, pickles, and
tomatoes(?) preserved in bottles of brine would burst if the temperature
fell far enough.

Dried foods should survive, for example I have some dried elderberries in
plastic jars which I believe would make it through the biggest blow and
float in a flood.

It's very, very sneaky.
