Hello Terry,

A great find or pickup is someones Wooden fence that they are tearing down, the wood is great to work with and make tables, Jelly Coolers out of. I have been collecting pieces of fencing here and there that will be put to use soon.

Actually I have scoped out a few fences that have been put by the road already from this storm. Oh well one mans trash Wood Pile is anothers treasure.

Randy, I know this is not the right place for this, but you mentioned it. How close were you to "Katrina"? I see you live SE Louisiana.

Hello Dave no problem in asking,

I live in the Baton Rouge area and if Katrina had moved to the left of NewOrleans a little or went through NO then it would have been worse for all of us and Damage here in Baton Rouge may have looked like GulfPort. Luckily it only skirted the right edge of NO and there was only some wind damage and power outages. If you look at map Hammond La is not far from me, From Hammond East is where all of the Destruction is.

I believe we had 50 mph winds with gusts to 75 or 80. To me we were spared so we could help NO. Just my opinion. It looks like 99% of the Baton Rouge area will have there electricity back by the Weekend. NewOrleans electric may take up to a year or longer to be fully restored.

Sounds like you were very fortunate. Aside from an occassional earthquake, all we have here in the Seattle area is a little bit of rain. Good to hear that you're OK.

Randy, glad to hear you were one of the "lucky ones". From what I see here in Ohio, it is one gigantic mess. I can't imagine what those people are going thru. We have an occasional tornado, but nothing like the damage there.
