Hey Russ,
Im just a couple of hours north from you right now, Im in Knoxville, Tn. If you need a generator, I got 1 you can use for as long as needed, Its a honda 5KW?? Yours for the asking, Ill pick it up on 1 of my trips to our condo in Destin,Fl.
Just say the word, and Ill met you.

Thanks for the offer PaceCarNut. Had I known I might have took you up on it, but that likely wouldve caused me to end up on the gas lines. They are literally 1 mile long in some cases. I estimataed there was around 600 cars waiting in line to get gas today. I can think of a lot better ways to spend 6 hours.

I rode down to Pascagoula, MS on Wednesday and saw the damage the office got. The storm surge was higher than recorded history as you guys have seen on the news. We only got 4 inches of water in the office and will be up and running when we get power.

I did speak to several of my favorite clients and one got 5 feet in his house. Pretty much a total loss but he managed to ride it out in chest high water. But one is missing and he had a coastal home. Scary thought.

I got to hand it to the guys from all the power companies, I never dreamed it would be back this quick. Sadly I believe I am the very first street to get power and a lot of theis small town is in much worse shape.

Thanks for the kind words guys. It meant a lot.

Russ were just glad you and your family are okay.I don't think anybody can really comprehend the damage without seeing it.
