50 sucks a 10

51 inches of water

Water is rising!

Waaaaaaa that's fuxored up big time man ... hopefully you'll get out of it nicely from now on !

My friend's father-in-law drowned:(
The geekiest greatest thing anyone could do for me is point me in the direction to salvage a floppy that the metal is corroded on but contained scans of old family pics that were lost in the water and any way to salvage a few precious home video tapes.

Oh wow, I'm glad to hear everything is okay. I've been wondering about you. I also had some family in a high area that got trapped (Fountainbleau Drive, near Tulane) when the levees broke. My uncle had to go in last Saturday and get them out. Luckily, the water stopped at their porch and never came in the house. They also had a generator.

Do you need a place to stay? I have plenty of room. Seriously... I'm only a couple of states east of you and it's a fairly short drive for me. I could come get you. (And ignore Warchild. I will whip his ass later. If you come stay with me we can make daiquiris and get drunk and talk nasty about him.)

It's totally cool man... I've got a dry room (with AC as of yesterday:)) as ground zero to dig out the rest of the place, a net connection, a phone (if I get off the net:1orglaugh) and hot water. Nobody else around me has more than one of those. I'm boogie chillin' :thumbsup

I have an incredibly lucky pocket to be in for recovery but drinking daiquris and beating up on warchild sounds like a lovely raincheck that for sure needs to be cash in on :upsidedow

Okay, good to hear. Just let me know if you need out, lol.

My cousin and her husband are leaving this week for Houston. He's with Smith Barney and they have them set up with a house in Houston already and he'll be working with their office there. I know she's anxious to get back into their house and get their things out.
