During natural disasters… SMS and Blackberry Pins are best for staying in contact. I’ve also recommend getting Twitter updates on city curfews and electricity outages. When the hurricane caused the largest Internet outage in the history, Blackberry Pin messages was the easiest way to stay connected with family.
We have water, electricity and we’re safe. The business… not so great. Part of the roof came off and the 15ft bay doors blew in. Half the side of the building bent in half from the wind blowing the nuts so hard they unscrewed. I intentionally wrote nuts when it should’ve been bolts.
Seriously though, while business is a mess… we’re grateful to be alive. Especially after hearing horrific rumors of a particular small coastal town. I can’t even write what I’ve heard, as it’s too disturbing.
Thanks guys. It wasn’t my first hurricane and probably won’t be my last. Or as some Texans would say… It aint my first rodeo. But just for the record, we don’t rodeo.
Dan, no worries but I didn’t watch much of the Olympics, I’m a winter Olympic fan.
Same here, Michele — very glad to hear all is (relatively) well.
So glad you and your family are safe and well. You have been in my prayers.
Glad you survived. I gotta say I was feeling a little bad about the myspace message when i saw — holy shit, it’s really gonna hit you and hit you hard!
My sister got hit by two hurricanes — one directly — in Florida, and they aren’t fun.
Still, I knew you could swim fast because you have been watching so much Michael Phelps.
