everyone is freaking out like this is the end of times.
If the stock market is any indication, this may indeed be the end of times.

well, i am back online at my house. we are still running on a generator, but doing a lot better now. the stores are all open and there is no shortage of anything but premium gas. i have been having to run octane boosters in the rx7 just to put gas in it. still all good though.

Yeah Wes, I'll second that. 'Glad you came through virtually unscathed. I've been talking to some driver's in my company that are still waiting for relief, yet they are coming to work anyway.

here are a couple of pics. a tree leaned really slowly onto the house but didn't damage anything. the neighbors next door flooded and the neighbors across the street lost the front of their roof. it could have been a lot worse for us, as you can see from the pics.

Wes, when you get a chance would you look at this thread for me and see if you can answer this guys questions?
