I know this probably should have been posted in Super, but I wanted the placement to be the most active area of the club. I just got a call from Todd. He & Gary are alive (thank God Gary kicked Todd's ass to leave town) because like I think I'd commented before, I knew Todd well enough he would want to ride it out. Todd's parents are ok too. They're all scattered in different directions. Todd has conflicting reports of only 3 feet of water in their house and 5-8 feet. He specifically asked for EVERYONE TO PRAY TO THE WASHER GODS that his machines are safe. He said there may be a massive Frigidaire funeral. I told him if they did get some water to NOT chuck them out, there's still hope they can be refurbished. If it's only 3 ft. of water, they're probably ok because he had his shed on blocks 3.5 feet above ground. There's a 99% chance the Hotpoint Fountain Filter (one of your favorite Luigi) is fine because they were still in his paernts garage, which had very little water. They had to drive 1.5 hours to get supplies and prescriptions as well as cell phone signal. He will call me on Sat. when they have to return for supplies. |

Water damage to a washer can be fixed. It's metal and plastic. Unfortunately wood and fabric doesn't fare too well. |

Such Wonderful News! Gald to hear Todd and his are ok, things seem to be on the way towards "disaster mode" down in NO and MI after some rough starts. By all means things are not ideal, but how could they be? Give Todd our best and we are all praying for him and his as well as everyone else affected by this disaster. Launderess |

Talked with Todd tonight. Gary's parents aree fine. He & Gary are staying at gary's sister's house on the edge of N.O. They do know Todd's parents house is fine and gary's parents live nearby. Todd & Gary will be able to see their house on Monday and take photos. Gary may get to go back to work in two weeks. His office is near the airport and happens to be on the same grid that's been restored for medical purposes and such. I asked about where Arthur (alr2903) might be. He asid Arthur's townhouse is on the outmost western edge so it's probably in good shape. But he's probably been at the hospital the whole time, he's a charge nurse and patient manager. But that's all he could conjecture. He's gonna call me again over the weekend. His siter's house has sporadic phone service.
