I'm fine Al,Thanks but I got enough roofing up that night to stop the flooding.They called it a straight-line wind that tore so much up.Lasted approx. 15-25 min. with top windspeed recorded at 90 mph,with hail to boot. Shoulda seen those old 48"-60" dia. oaks uprooted every where laying on cars and houses,what a mess.My power stayed out from friday till monday afternoon,boy was I one PO'd stinking countryboy.When you live in the boonies and rely on power for water,you can't wash or flush without having to haul in water. I live 10 mi. from the nearest store and I was sick at finding myself so handicapped without power. I was just getting used to living primitive again when the power came on and I scrambled for the mouse like some junkie or wino,cranked up both the TV and Neil Young at the same time,popped a burrito into the microwave and wept as I watched the PW page appear on the screen ! It was a sad pitiful site I'll tell you guys. Hopefully if I can get that generator this spring I'll never have to live through something like that again.
