I have been wondering how our members are doing and keeping prayers sent out to all of you, I can not imagine the difficulties everyone is going threw over on the east side.
We have lost power here a few times and a couple years ago it was a 7 day deal because of a bad ice storm, but we did not have water in our house, Stay safe and I hope help heads your way soon.
If anyone is having a bad day... Just think what 69 Fstback and others are going threw!!

Holy crap man. I can't imagine that. Good luck and hope everybody is OK there.

No power on day 11. The generator was the best investment i ever made even though we didnt use it for the first ten years.. At least i can buy gas now.

I have a question. I mean no ill harm. Living with-in feet of sea level, did you think this would never happen?

My sentiments exactly,...spent days at the shore convincing people to leave,...we have 226 houses at last count that we pulled the meters on cause of damage. Had 4 feet of sand on the roads. Got houses with foundations that are just gone...and we made out easy...

It happened in 1893, it happened in 1938, it happened in 2012 and I'm sure it will happen again in the future and global warming/climate change has nothing to do with it. If you live at sea level near an ocean sooner or later you will taste natures salty fury. It sounds harsh but it's true. All it takes is a full moon and a major storm to produce major flooding in low-laying areas, when you combine a full moon and a hurricane you get a major disaster.

69fstback hang in there, houses can be rebuilt and material things replaced, the important thing is you and your family are still here to talk about it.
