if it does not, come up to Cleveland. You've been itching to get out of there. We'll take care of you up here!

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

What's happening in Southern USA looks quite frightening.    I'm following on CSN.
I'm in Israel, very far away, if someone in the USA wants to organize a relief fund for TSB members I'll be happy to contribute.

So far we and all staff are okay. However there will be no power anywhere for up to 3 weeks or more. Going to be hot and humid. Will post update later when I know more. Thanks everyone for reaching out much appreciated

It was very crazy and at the same time, we were all very lucky.

Power being out in the city for a really long time seems to be the main fallout until you go south... the places south Houma and further out got rocked pretty hard.

I can't see the people in NOLA tolerating having no power for longer than a few weeks... some were saying 10 weeks... that's gonna be insane and people will lose their minds.

Brandon, if you guys need to come to Lafayette, we can do what we can to help you guys out!

Thank you! Much appreciated Gilligan. Might have to take you up. If M&R is listening we will need a new head for our I-image. I have contacted GSG last week but they are dealing with the storm as well.

Did the water get that high up inside to cover the print head (board)?  Actual Head may be all good.

Can't speak for Brandon 100% but we didn't have much water inside the Levees so I'm guessing he just ALSO needs a new head OR maybe he knows he will once he gets back due to no power/climate control for weeks on end?

Most of the problems in NOLA itself is just main transmissions lines all came down... power will be out for 3 weeks for most people they are saying.

Thankfully levees and pumps did their job.

All places south of NOLA got hit pretty hard though.

Hey I do not think we got water but not sure. The city did not so most likely we did not. But without power for three weeks I am assuming dead head. Everything is a mess
