Title: Up-Date from Huntsville, Alabama.... :+}
Post by: Danny on May 02, 2011, 11:38:11 am

Good :-) Morning to ALL....
     I want to thank you all for you concern.  Gee it sure is GOOD to have so many Scrollin Friends.  Well fortunitly the area I live in was spared.  There was so, so much distruction eleswheres.  I am sure you all have been keeping up with the news about it all.  We were with out power for a lil over four days and it was a different way of dealing with the everyday things.  This is the first time the power was out for this long.  Normal was maybe a few hours.  The need for ICE was the most thought about from day today.  Charcole was a close second.  We had a gas grill so was able to cook the meats etc. Kind of enjoyed getting up normal at 5 am and heating my tea kettle with water for a few cups of coffee.  My Mom lives approx. a quarter mile from me and she is 84 years young, so I would take a thermost with hot water for her to use for her coffee etc.  Gas for the cars was a huge problem.  Long, long lines everywheres.  Generators were a real big seller and I tell you the noise they make is awful in the middle of the night.  We did not buy one.  Well the power came on last night (Sunday) at 8:20 pm and I couldn't believe that all my neighbors came outside as we did and we all cheered and kind of huged.  Was like New Years eve.  Someone across the street even had fire works.  Was really cool.  There are still areas without power, but news is all will have it by late Wednesday.
     Well again I want EVERYONE to know that his Forum we are part of is like
a part of my family.  Later....  Danny  :+}

Great to hear from you, Danny.  Was wondering how many of the group may be affected by those storms.  But glad to know you and your family are safe.

So great to see neighbors come together like that.  The vision of everyone coming outside and cheering the return of the power made my day.

I was just wondering.  Just how much help have we received from some of the other countries we helped in the past?  Never mind, think I know the answer..
I hope everything improves for you all soon.

So glad to hear you and your family are ok.  My sister lives near Lawrenceburg, TN and I was seeing what was missing them was headed your way.  Your description reminds me of Katrina except we were with out electricity for over a week.  Kind of brings you back to where we were years ago before all of this technology spoiled us.  Thanks for checking in and letting us know you are well.

Glad you checked in, we were all concerned for you Danny, and the rest who live in that neck of the woods who are dealing with Mother Nature's tantrums. Our prayers are with you.
Keep the storm cellar stocked.
