I just spoke to Dick Ford... in Mississippi.The eye of Katrina passed over their

house when it was a category 2 storm.

They are all safe... no floodingThere are lots of trees down. In fact, one fell

on their house. Fortunately, it was slowed by a power line, which prevented

major damage

 

 

They remain without electricity... although Dick said it is being gradually

restored in pockets... with utility trucks seen from (what seems) every US

municipality! He has a laptop & generator... but limited access.

They have phone lines... and an outside propane cooker to prepare meals... but

nowhere to buy fresh food.

 

Yesterday the local Wal-mart opened... but not much on their shelves.

They are selling generators.

People were without fresh water until Thursday... and many still have to boil

water.

 

The Ford's house (unlike most in that area) is built on a hill, with a basement

and good drainage system. The 12 " concrete walls provide shelter from the

storms (tornado last spring), as well as from the heat.

 

Dick has tried to post on the group... and hopes to have access soon.

Peace,

Michelle

Re: hurricane - Has anyone heard from Dick Ford?

Hurricane Katrina will be passing over our county later today; we expect power

will be out for days. My house has a lower floor with very strong 12 " concrete

walls; it is a tornado shelter where we've gathered my nearby family, including

my elderly grandmother. We expect to be ok.

Be kind. Be of good cheer.
