Country: | Holy crap, that really sounds like a big one. I read about Waveland, they said it's almost completely wiped out. Do you know how Keesler faired?
I'm about a 6 hour drive from the Bay area, but when you get out this direction, let me know. I know getting out of the area, even for a little bit would be good for all of you guys, that's why I made the offer.
After the quake of '94 out here, I took some time away after we got things settled back down. Took me a long time to feel comfortable in that house again even then. But just to get out of the area was good therapy.
Hang in there Dan. If you need anything, give me a shout.

Country: | Thanks Eric....
Keesler got slammed.. The Commisary was underwater, and the base itself has approx 90% structural damage.... Those hangers folded up like tinfoil....
From what Ive heard, the ENTIRE base was underwater...

Country: | I actually volunteered to go down on the Athabaskan when she sails, to help out, but they told me no. Quite a few guys stepped forward wanting to help. The scope of the damage is just inconceivable. | |

Country: | My mother in law is on her way to Mississippi this morning to help out in the food distribution relief. I'm trying to find out if she'll be close to Les's place.

Country: | Everything is upside down right now.... Just got back from an excursion into an off limits area to find my buddie Paul... I was unsuccessful... His body was nowhere to be found in the wreckage and there was no message saying where he went... I'm fearing the worst...
Im still missing 3 friends, have recovered 2, and 1 was a confirmed KIA.... This place is an utter mess... We were very VERY lucky here at my house...

Country: | Keep us Updated Les and again let us know if there is anything we could do.
The president of my company said he will match dollar to dollar on donations for Katrina disaster relief.

Country: | Well, hopefully, Paul found his way to safety. No message could mean he had to beat feet quick and didn't have time to leave a clue. Good to hear you made it through the area you had to get through this AM okay. Was it as bad as you were expecting, or was it drier?
