Russ, Good idea. A storm churns things up and brings in lots of fish from parts unknown. Awaiting the fishing report. Just be sure the storm has moved
on. |
I hope Russ is joking!

Can't open a door or window cuz I'd never get'm closed again. Here's what my weather station said a few minutes ago. Didn't catch the big gust or
heavy rain but I'm sure later I will. I added the 2nd temp gauge to show I'm not in a 92º box.

I just got up after the worst storm I've been thru. Including two seasons in Nam.
Things are bad here and as far as I know no one in Chivato was injured. I pray that is true for the rest of the path of destruction Jimena left
behind. We have a lot of damaged homes here and will try to post as fast as I can see and figure out what's happened.We still have 25 t0 40 mph winds.
Again no one injured that I know of.

Just return from a depressing tour of part of shell beach. I'm working on a photo page with photos from several sources here on Shell Beach. I'll add
the address for that site here as soon as I can. My prayers and thoughts are with all those effected by this storm.

capt. mikes' words are wisdom. The army is there. Basic human needs will be taken care of. Those of us who have property there, or who wish to be
involved in relief work need to to take a breath and give it a few days. That's not to say that planning should stop. Only that people should not be
hitting the road right now.
