That’s great news John, and I’m glad that your son is back home, as I’m sure you and your wife. Take care.

Hey everyone!
We got back this morning from driving down to LA to get out son Sam and his friend Pete. What an adventure!
Mississippi and SE Louisiana are a disaster. We could not believe the number of trees and power lines down on the highway all the way through the state. Even though we saw semi after semi carrying new utility poles, they are going to need thousands. We had trouble getting gas, because of the power and at night, there are curfews. Slidell and Covington were hit hard with trees and power lines all down. We went by our old house that was not damaged, but the house where Sam was living had a tree through the roof. Inside you could see a huge hole through the ceiling and roof into the sky letting in rain and mosquitoes. We dropped off water and batteries, and then drove all night back to Ohio.
People need to back off on criticizing the government about their response time. First that had to clear literally miles of downed trees off the highways to get through and then with no power or gasoline it is very difficult to travel in the South.
Sam and Pete will be staying with us for about a month.
John and Sue Nye
