thanks... we seem to have come through with a minimum of problems in this area... enough rain to give this dry parched ground a good soaking... and the wind has blown in some nice 80 degree weather after weeks and weeks of 100+ days... some limbs and debris to clear up out of the yard, but I am thankful... have friends who may not have been so fortunate in South Louisiana, near where the eye made landfall but won't know for a couple of days how they fared... they can't get in for at least 48 hours. thanks to all for the prayers and good thoughts... the people of Louisiana and Texas and the entire gulf coast area are very appreciative these days.
