Just making sure everyone is okay, it didn't hit my area bad but I know others weren't so lucky. If someone needs something feel free to ask your bronco family, I'm sure one of us can help you out. :beer

Got any power stashed away somewhere? That seems to be the only thing we're missing right now. Conroe didn't get much more than a little wind/rain, but enough to have the power STILL out. We're still camped out on the in-laws sofa bed(since friday), and man does my back hurt! I was hoping it would have knocked down those dead trees in the yard, but no such luck. Oh well, just thankful that nothing(or anyone) else got damaged.

thanks, but were good at the in-laws till power is back kids get to play with their uncles, and a shorter drive to work, too. Wouldn't want to bother unless I could run the a/c, and I know my grandpa's wont do it.

Got power back Saturday night....Only thing that is hurting me is my wallet from driving around in giant circles for no apparant reason.

rode out both storms on the coast, had to for work. Rita wasn't much on wind, but the water came up high and we had a lot of flooding in the area.

Katrina got bad were I was, we rode out the storm in a hospital about 25 miles or so from the coast. the wind was pushing our units a few inches across the cement. didn't take many pics, we were really busy I will try to post some pics when I get a chance.

Is it getting any better in Nawlins? I'm just glad Burbon street made it out ok. :drinkbud I guess some with the money want to build a golf course over the ruins that got real flooded. I say, rebuild. The rest of the country doesn't need the extra crime. :box0715:
