Hurricane Rita

[c10bonanza]

Power still on, Sat TV buffering every few seconds, cable up (was down for a little while), not much rain and some very gusty and continous winds.

Stay safe my brother! You are in my thoughts and prayers. :angel:

houston did a wax on, wax off number on rita. so what is the situation like down there?

I'm going to try to get back as soon as I can and try to beat the rush back into town.

 

[Eric]

A few broken branches around my house but we never did get any very hard rain. A few medium gusts coming from the NW now. Power has went out 2 or 3 times but came back on a minute after going down.

Houston dodged a bullet for sure. Hope our brothers and sisters to the east of us are safe. The place where me and my uncle were headed to is where the very worst of it is right now. Glad we turned back around.

Glad it is going well for you Eric.
I hope this goes smooth for everybody involved.

 

[David]

Good to hear that you are alright Eric!

Prayers are with the people who were in the area hit the hardest.

It's good to hear you escaped any serious weather Eric.

Glad to see everything was ok.

Happy it worked out for you Eric!

 

[Eric]

Still no power on at work. We've lost about 4/5 of our perishable items for the entire store. In the $200k+ loss range...

 

[caudio51]

Damn, what type or work do you do Vipe?

What did you guys lose? I heard power could be out for quite some time

Damn man, that's a lot of produce!

 

[Eric]

Damn man, that's a lot of produce!

That's for the entire store... we lost at least $30k

 

[allanf]

Don't forget all those roasts, turkeys...steaks...

 

[Eric]

... all the meat, entire 2 aisles of frozen, nearly all the diary - all garbaged.

 

[caudio51]

Damn, thats a lot!

Damn that does suck Eric! I was grocery shopping about 2 weeks after Katrina hit. Well, I was going down the desert isle (cake mixes, etc.) and came upon some of those mini-hershey kisses (not in the tin foil) you can melt and they all melted together into a block because the heat got to them with no power.

Might want to check on those too...lol

Dang Cliff...you have a desert aisle? What are they doing keeping the mini-hershey kisses in an aisle with all that sun and sand? :wink:
