I am just glad Hurricane Katrina or a tornado didn't blow my house
away,especially with doggy and I sitting in my dining room ready to dive
under the kitchen table if the big pecan tree in my front yard near my
house or the big pecan tree in my back yard near my house was about to
fall over on my house.I could do without electricity for weeks if I have
to.I have GOT to get those two trees trimmed down.I am glad my
electricity is back on too,airconditioning sure is nice.My sister and
brother in law own a Pace Arrow motorhome they have parked next to their
house.He has shingles.He had the airconditioning runing off the
motorhome's generator in his motorhome when I went over there this
morning and he was sitting in there watching tv.He has to stay out of
the heat with those shingles he has.

We, some of us, were concerned about your well-being. I'm glad to hear
you're okay. There are a lot of hurtin' folks up in your area. I've seen
the same around my home state (Florida) but nothing like what Katrina has
wrought. Welcome back.

It sure didn't take log for this thread to go into the toilet!

How much more Freudian can you get? g

There is a big giant about sixty or seventy feet tall pecan tree in my
front yard that has a big giant fork that almost touches the roof over
my living room area and a tree just like it in my back yard that almost
touches the roof over my bed room area.Last Monday morning,doggy and I
sat out the storm in my dining room,I figured if any of those trees came
crashing down,we would dive under my dining room table and trust to
luck.We sat there untill about 11:00 PM Monday night.I was scared
s..tless! If I had to do it all over again,in hindsight,we would sit it
out in my car in my driveway.

Not a good idea. You're -much- safer in your house than you would be under
that thin metal car roof.

You're right. There is a post on mews:rec.antiques.radio+phono that
mentioned a man being killed by a branch that fell out of his pecan tree
in Meridian, Ms. He was in his yard talking to neighbors when he heard
it start to break off. His neighbors ran one way and he ran for his
house, but he didn't make it.

Maybe I will dig a six foot square hole in my back yard and line it with
concrete cinder blocks and paint some Xypex www.xypex.com to make
it water proof and keep a battery powered radio and battery powered
flourescent camp lantern and a few other thingys in there.My very own
storm shelter,Yeah,that's the ticket.

Are there any pecans left? We could all use some good pecan pie!

Glad you & the pup made it okay. Riding through hurricanes is no fun.
