  1. I can only say, wow.
    It’s amazing that he would feel “fortunate” after going through this, but it just goes to show the misery the storm caused.

  2. Well, having to drag the bottom half of the sheetrock off your walls after having to pull up all your floor coverings while trying to recover use of your primary transportation so you can get to work and keep income flowing in so you can afford to replace/repair the things insurance says they don’t cover renders internet less important, I think. 🙂 It’s all about perspective. (But I’m pretty sure you were kidding, Ronn.)

  3. Glad to hear he’s doing well! Tell him to make 100% sure the wood is dry before replacing the sheetrock, though . . . last thing he needs after this are mold issues from covering up wet wood.

    Later

  4. Thanks, Jim. I’m sure that’s one reason why he doesn’t want the sheetrock for a couple weeks.

  5. I’m glad he’s okay! Sounds like he’s right near Larissa – her husband’s base is in P., I believe.

    She spent the weekend ripping out sheetrock and drywall too. And she keeps saying the same thing about her husband still having a job too…

  6. The two towns aren’t far apart. Larissa had a lot more water in her house–they were closer to ground zero than my brother. In fact, had I been stationed at Keesler like I expected, I probably would have rented a place not far from where it sounds like Larissa lives–it had a reputation as being a good town to live in, and it was close to the base (before the bridge disappeared).
