The weather Channel is the same way. It's concerned about Hanna and Ike.

Would be nice to hear from Chad to make sure they are doing OK.

I've got a number but it is private, given to me when I was in the hospital. I will call it tomorrow and see what I can find out.

Keep us posted James. I wonder if cell and home phone services are dead too... They don't talk about phones at all on the news only electricity.

I'm not sure.

I left a message letting him know we were all concerned about him and family. If I hear anything I will let you all know. :Thumbs Up:


UPDATE: Allrighty Then. Didn't talk to him directly but we swapped messages.

The Good News: Chad and family are doing great. They have a generator and he said all was well.

The Bad News: They do not have cable or internet service, electrical service is not expected to be back on until the middle of next week. 5 trees fell down in his yard, none of them hit anything they just toppled. He said he'd try and get online in the next several days and would post some impressive pics when he does.
