Thanks. Yeah, I spent yesterday removing the two trees with a chainsaw and I was pretty sore by the time we finished. My father is 71 and he worked harder than me. Wow, tough guy! My mom stayed in there with us, she's amazing.

Glad your Homestead is OK Neal.
Sorry about the trees though.

We got 70 MPH winds from 'Your Storm'
here in Ohio.

I only lost a few branches and power was restored after 25 hours.

Some here in Ohio will be without power for a lest a week more.
(They sent all the repair crews somewhere. :hmm: )

You know the LAST time I was scheduled to be in your area.
Katrina visited!!

Maybe not... Rick just called to say Hampton cannot honor his reservation...
I called and they say they are closed until Dec 1, and only Centerpoint energy people are there now.

I will go by there tomorrow and speak to the GM, see if anything can be worked out.

Otherwise, I suggest everyone check their hotel reservations tomorrow. If you need to find another hotel, search on www.hotel.com for Pearland, TX

@TJ...I've PM'd you and just received a call from Kpt Lehmann...can you check the booking/reservation mate.

TarJak · 09-29-08, 08:07 AM
