Anvilbrother 0 #151 September 6, 2005 Sidearm is a Sig P220 .45 And the long iron is a Saiga (AK Variant) in 7.62X39. It is made at the Izmash plant where the real Kalashnikov rifles are made. It is all there was, it is long and heavy but I liked it. I love the sound of a long throw bolt action compared to a .223. I am going to purchase a M4 when I get back to a dealer. Word is in Baton Rouge the FBI came and bought up all the good stuff from all the police supply shops in town, so I might have to order it. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

We would also like to let it be known that if there are any skydivers in the Baton Rouge - Hammond area that need any help, please contact us. The two of us live alone in a very basic but spacious five bed room home and have room to spare. We were also without power and phone until just recently and are just catching up on all the news.

ChileRelleno 0 #164 September 7, 2005 RkyMtnHigh, good to hear from you that Mike C. is alive and still kickin, I'll pass that news on to Kreg he was worried about'im. Kreg passed thru here with his brother-n-law on their way to Gulfport, MS with clothing and asst'd supplies for his roomie and neighbors. We treated a early dinner, figured it was the last good meal they'd see for a few days... We were right, they've been subsisting on MRE's and Red Cross meals. Kreg sounded like he was on the verge of tears when he called me after they arrived and he got a firsthand look at the aftermath. He and his Roomie lost everything.............. His roomie is going to stay behind and help get the radio station back online and Kreg is going to stop by again on his way back to Florida and then back to work. I'm home (obviously) and everything is hunkydory, nothing that work and money can't fix. I'm gonna be home loner than I originally planned, I pulled a muscle in my back while clearing trees and storm debris. But I heal fast You staying sober? You still in love? I hope so, very dearly I hope so, you need both! Thank you for playing secretary for me, Give my regards to the Bros and your other half. . . . . .

Just talked to Kreg a few mins ago..he can call out but not receive calls so I pick 'em up when I can..Wayne is so grateful to be alive!!! Wayne and his dogs swam to survival!!! as the tidal waves overcame his house! The stories he told me last night would make the hair on your arms stand straight up! He is so lucky to still be here. Kreg found his baby blanket today...one of those sentimental things you just can't replace. He has much of GYC in his yard which cracked me up! since I spent so much of my childhood sailing there..and now it's gone, but in a friend's yard. Go figure This is a long process of recovery.. As far as D and I ...he's still the best thing that's ever happened to me! He keeps me straight! Thank GOD for that! As far as me playing secretary for you on here and RB website, no problem..it was my pleasure!Katee _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ffp1974 0 #166 September 8, 2005 Well I live in Hattiesburg Mississippi and we got hammered. Katrina went right up 59. I have some video I will post, that was taken around 10-11 am. There are very few houses in this area that aren't damaged. We live in an area that has 50-90 pine trees. The ones that weren't pushed over, snapped in the middle and became spears. Many of the houses in my neighborhood had two or three trees go through the house to the foundation. I have one neighbor cut tree limbs inside his house, so he could get from one room to another. No one in south miss had power. I got my business power today and my house Sat. The only reason I got my house so quickly is my proximity to the hospital. But we are all alive. I am glad Gold Coast Survived. Mike Igo needed some luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #169 September 8, 2005 I don't know if anybody remembers Hurricane Frederic in 1979. Frederic came ashore at Dauphin Island with 135 mph winds. Basically wiped out every single beach front house all the way east to Gulf Shores. My cousin who has a house on the west side of Mobile Bay about halfway between Mobile and Dauphin Island said that the storm surge from Katrina was higher than Frederic. His home got swamped and part of the roof ripped off, with him, his wife and three kids inside! There's 3 feet of mud in there now. Guess they didn't think it would be that bad with Katrina's eye coming ashore more than two state lines over."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
