After slamming the panhandle, it is ripping up SE Alabama and SW Georgia with hurricane force winds. Hoping Geo and 67galaxie are okay. SW Georgia is a major producer of pecans and the nuts are still on the trees green. This is going to devastate that area. I hope that no lives are lost. Gil

Thanks, David. The eye is supposed to pass within 15-20 miles of me very early tomorrow morning. I just hope it has lost intensity as much as they are predicting it will. I will be on the east side of the eye, if it tracks as predicted, probably the worst side for rain. I'm really much more concerned about the wind than the rain. Everything will dry out after it passes through. But, all the cotton that blows out and hits the ground may as well have never been on the bush. It's lost.
We shall see what we shall see.
Best, SRH

And there is a special place in heaven for the "Cajun Navy", they don't have to do what they do, they just want to help.

I'm planning a crow hunt in the pecan orchards in S. Georgia the 1st week in November.
How did the area fare through Hurricane Michael?

Perry,
They are a bunch of good "ole boys" from south LA., they convoy in wherever people are in a bind; bring their own boats, fuel, and food. They start bringing survivors in as soon as they get there. People helped them after Katrina and they make it their mission to help anyone else they can. I'll bet some of them can cook a mean Gumbo too.

Just a quick check in with y'all to let you know we fared pretty good. Lost power at 6 a.m., probably 100 lbs (per acre) cotton blown out on the ground and lost. Might not get power back on for a day or two, but still grinning.
Anything that doesn't kill us just makes us stronger. Thanks for the prayers and best wishes. I'm sending this from my phone while I'm getting ice in town. Catch up with you when power is back on and computer is up and running.
Blessings, SRH

Hang in there Stan. After two hurricanes so-far (this year!) you should be pretty tough by now.

Good to hear you're OK Stan. I hope the others Gil mentioned are safe too.
The NRA has proven itself unreliable and corrupt. Period.

Power came back on after we went to bed last night. Everything will be back to normal this morning. Still got to get the generator disconnected from the well/pump and connect it back to the line, and a few other things, but with any luck I'll get to shoot doves tomorrow afternoon for my birthday.
All the prayers and concerns are greatly appreciated. As Jerry Clower's Aunt Pet liked to say, "It could've been worse".
