Well, we survived. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!
Turns out the eye of Rita passed just to the east of us, which put us on the calmer side. Even so, we lost a few trees, and the power and water and phone services were knocked out. However, the house is fine, and all guitar wood intact. The phone is back up (obviously), but no power. That's right, I'm typing this by candlelight.
No actually, we've been nursing along an ailing generator which is running at the moment, so I thought I'd report in while I could.
I've missed you guys--but you know what? There's something nice about a dark, quiet evening with no pressures and little to do but read. Haven't obsessed about guitar building for days! Maybe Don should come over here and relax for a while?
Now the guys east of us just a bit need our prayers. Some places were absolutely smashed. I really feel for them, as well as the Katrina evacuees that were here...having to go through it all over again.
Hope to talk to you soon,
Steve
I still remember, We were in Jacsonville N.C. when Hugo ran through. it was heading south of Wilmington til the last 2 hrs before land fall then moved north east like this one, and hit right in between Jacksonvill and Wilmington. Jacksonvill was lucky. the east side of the storm hit her but it lost a good bit of punch over the outer banks. But boy did the outer banks pay the price. I don't ever want to do that again.
