Woket here. We arrived in Orlando for a few days at Disney World for the kids' birthadys on Wednesday. Were supposed to fly back Sunday night (tonight) to be back at work in the AM. Obviously no flights going back there so here we are holed up in Memphis (any jet action here? We are at Homewood Suites). Last I checked in, it looked as though the eye might go right over our new house in Slidell. When we left Wednesday morning, I had zero idea that this was gonna happen. I prepped nothing. No bording up, did not even close the functional shutters. All my radio gear, turbines, etc is all low enought that 5 fett of H2O will get it. Bummer! All the REAL valuables are with us though (and they are refreshed from a few Disney Days!). Our two dogs (Apollo, the best dog a guy ever had just turned 10 years on July 20, the anniversary of Apollo 11's lunar landing!) are in a Slidell kennel. Good luck boy.

I hope I have a work shop to return to. Hope I have a job to return to. The NASA Michoud Assembly Facility is critical to the Shuttle program and we are locked down. Ready to ride it out. Hope Eddie and Phil are safe, and don't forget Lane, Mike Morgan, Scotty, and Bill Meador. Take care guys.
