Some small local levies have been overtopped. There is flooding and wind damage; homes have been lost, people are being rescued from attics and rooftops. Hoping all of our club members in the area are safe and dry. artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1784 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Wednesday, August 29, 2012 - 12:28 pm:    I second that... thinking of our club members in the region. sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 2599 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Wednesday, August 29, 2012 - 5:16 pm:    Safety vibes sent from me as well ! <{{{{{{{{{{{ mario_farufyno Senior Member Username: mario_farufyno Post Number: 824 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Wednesday, August 29, 2012 - 7:10 pm:    Hope everybody be safe, some images on TV news are scary alembic76407 Senior Member Username: alembic76407 Post Number: 704 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, August 31, 2012 - 1:30 pm:    any word from Dela217, I hope all's well jzstephan Intermediate Member Username: jzstephan Post Number: 118 Registered: 1-2012 Posted on Friday, August 31, 2012 - 6:17 pm:    Tampa was hit hard by a tsunami of hot air this week. Good thing Isaac passed us by. jseitang Advanced Member Username: jseitang Post Number: 320 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, September 02, 2012 - 2:26 pm:    Dela217 do you copy? dela217 Senior Member Username: dela217 Post Number: 1119 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, September 02, 2012 - 6:40 pm:    I'm here! Thanks for the concern everyone. We did ok. Lost a bit of the roof and some soffit and fascia. Lost a mailbox too, which can be a good thing! The worst of it all is when the rain and water was at it's peak, we lost plumbing. Not being able to flush the toilet for a couple of days was not a good thing. All in all my family is fine. I have not been able to check in because my internet was finally restored tonight. We had some down lines that were finally repaired.

It is great to read that you are OK and did not suffer major loses this time around .

Being so far away from these extreme weather things, they can become abstract for most of us, something we'll never experience in person, so it's good that we have folks like you around to make it real for the rest of us...when Vancouver finally has the big earthquake I'll tell you all about it; thankfully I don't work downtown anymore so I only have to worry about squishing, not the giant glass shower too...
