All these are within the city limits of Arcadia

These are pics on my property where I live

I have a 10hp generator wired right to my breaker panel....Yes I know, the main power breaker is turned off so when power is restored I dont have a fire.


Here you can see trees snapped in half but if you look close some blew one way the others the other way, Im pretty sure this is a sign of a twister


notice how this tree snapped but is twisted.

P.S. these are pretty big trees

[scubadude]

Here is the greenhouse now.





Oh yeah and on top of all this my Pug (shelby) had puppies the morning after the storm...4 girls and 2 boys we are keeping one of the boys and naming him Charley.....he better not tear up stuff

That which does not break me will only make me stronger!

My insurance and FEMA will be covering most if not Everything...I have such a great feeling of community love and togetherness right now that I feel like I could overcome ANYTHING! There are LOTS of others that are much more unfortunate than me!

Good luck with your cleanup, Rocky! Glad you and your family got through it without any personal injuries.



P.S. -- I was calling the phone number you show on your website.

[Papa Doug]

Wholly crap. Glad your all ok.

[Poseidon]

Hey Rocky!!! Glad you made it through okay!!! I'll gladly send you some frags when you get back up and ready! I hope your Homeowners covers your loss financially, but all teh work you put in is the worst loss!

[Treeman]

Hey Rocky!


Glad you and the family is OK. If there is ANYTHING I can do just call me. I will call your cell and leave my number again along with my 800 #.

For some reason I can't see the pics but I will solve that later. It has to be alot like Andrew.

I put some calls out today about a GH. Should here something back the end of the week.

Keep the chin up and let me know what I need to bring your way!

hurricanes are amazingly devestating.. much more so that a twister....

the oddest stuff.. like that badcock picture.. that truck is just flipped over.. but he windows on the store are ok...
if you were down here... the sites like that are the most amazing....
4 houses in a row will just be gone.. then the 5th looks as if it barely rained on it.......... you really have to see this devistation in person to really see and understand how extremely odd it is..........
Good luck rocky!!!!

Hey Rocky

Glad to hear you and family are OK. I was worried man! If there's anything I can do to help out just let me know.

I posted on BARS about your plight and they want to help in any way they can, too.

A lot of people love you, man!!!

[Samper]

Hey Rocky, I don't really know you but I just wanted to let you know that I have Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun off on the days of 26-29 aug and The Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon off on the weekend after. If you need someone to come down there and help with cleanup or basically anything I could for sure justify a road trip for ya man. I know you most likely wouldnt ask for anything but please let me know if you need some help. I could make it there in a little over 7 hours from NC so man if you need me I'm there.

[zhenya]

Oh boy,Rocky Glad to hear you and family made out without any pesonal injuries...if there is anything i can do, please let me know.

[kevinpo]

Yikes Rocky!
I was out of town at a reef conference and didn't even know this was going on. I'm very glad to hear you made it through OK. Let me know if I can be of assistance to you.

Best regards,
Kevin

Is this guys attitude terrific or what. Glad to hear that you and your family are all okay Rocky!!

Is this guys attitude terrific or what.

This is Rocky's core belief system. He cares more about the health and well being of others than himself. He'd give you the shirt off his back, the tent he was living in or his last frag if he thought you needed it worse than he.

And, besides that, he's a great guy to hang with.

Rocky, I just saw this thread but when I heard and watched about the hurricane last week I knew the name Port Charlotte stuck in my mind for some reason. OMG, now I remember why, you lived there. Thankfully, you and your family are ok as well as pug dog.

I am long distance but if there is anything a fellow texan can do for ya, please let me know.

Take care,

[golfish]

Rocky,
You guys are all right, that's all that matters. If I could I'd be down there helping you out and not typing this "hope you get well soon" note. I'm glad to hear you had everything insured.

You know something, the green house looks a lot more greener now then it did before

Good luck man, you got my e-mail let me know if you need anything.

Mark

[big t]

Good Luck Rocky, I am glad to hear that you are OK. I wish I could be there to help you out.

[deec77]
