Well , we're alive but beat to hell , things are bad , real bad , ...... John , hate to say this but L.B.I. is all but destroyed , no one is allowed on the island . The ocean cut through to the bay in Loveladies , most certain in other places also .
We lost power at 3 or 4 pm Monday the day Sandy hit , just got power back , been working at the middle school shelter , it's pretty sad , ocean and bayfront properties are gone , ........ gone .
We had a lot of trees down , the cracking in the woods behind the house sound like incoming , for hours , never saw trees bend like that , then the crack and the tops flew , flew through the air .
I'm at the library now using their puter.
Got power back yesterday morning , cable too , ......... the phones are shot though , we lost a 900 pair cable that feeds our beach community , no phones or internet maybe for weeks .
We had trees [ luckily ] fall over on the house , just did a slow fall and rest on the roofs .
No real damage .
Spent a good deal of time removing them , big suckers .
Well I'll be good for firewood for some time .
Thanks for all your concerns , we're beat to shit , ..... but alive , gotta go , when the phone lines are working again I'll be back .
