Hi Everyone,
The phone line up here at my location went down in the middle of the Hurricane on Saturday. The storm was a Cat 2 up here where I am with winds blowing about 100mph.. it knocked trees and power out.. I have been without power since Saturday @ 1AM, and still am without power.. It is HOT, but thankfully, a cold front is moving in on Thursday.
The update on 3ADL --- our office building suffered some minor damage, and water did get into our server room. I am going to our office tomorrow (100 miles from here) and folks from our Corporate office are going to move them to Houston. However, they are NOT taking any non critical servers. The power in the section of Beaumont that the server is typically housed will probably be back online sometime late this week or next week. Unfortunately, with the HUGE gas shortage in that area, we will be unable to bring the generator online. My plans are to try to inject the data from this forum into the regular 3ADL board when I am able to do so, but not until I am able to get some high speed internet.
My home fared great, the only damage is the carport is down, but still attached to the house in the front corner. no windows busted, no rising water, no trees down. However, E Round Bunch Road has all high voltage power lines down. I have never seen anything like it in my life.. I have traveled down to Bridge City yesterday and going back tomorrow for some work related stuff. Rest assured, there will be pictures online as soon as I get high speed access. The Bridge City football stadium is standing, but the pressbox on the visitors side is severely damaged, and the main pressbox is gone.. Two light poles fell down that light up the middle of the field. (This is what i'm hearing from a school official, I did not personally see this) School is supposed to be out until November.
The only homes that were severely damaged are those who had trees on the north side of their house.
Anyway, this is the update for now.. I'll try to keep you guys updated!
