Razorback Homecoming

We went to the Razorback Homecoming game today. The poor piggies lost to the Gamecocks 14-10. We just couldn't complete the drive. It was sad.

Checking on Friends

I have been trying to contact friends that were impacted by Rita.

I found out that Keith from Lufkin is without power. They think it will be a week before he gets power restored. He has a generator and is trying to support 25 homes by taking it around to let them have power for their freezers for a few hours each day. He was in Baton Rouge from Sept 9th through the 20th working to help New Orleans after Katrina.

David & Beth - Got hold of David this morning at Incident Command in LA. He and Beth are fine. He doesn't know about his home or businesses in Abbeville. He arrived in Baton Rouge to help with Katrina on Tues. Sept 6th and was still there on Sept 17th. Beth said they planned to go home for 2 days to check on their daughter and then return to Baton Rouge on the 20th to work at the Incident Command Center. They are still at IC helping out. He said AR is sending several pilots but they are in need of some WMIRS input help. Our aircraft left this morning at 6 a.m. with 2 pilots headed to BTR or I would go back to help.

Faye in Lonoke said the tornado missed them. They got over 5 inches of rain and a few limbs down but no other damage.

Still trying to get Henry.

Rita

Catherine weathered the storm fine. College Station was in the projected path so classes were called off Friday and A & M played their ballgame Thursday night instead of Saturday. Catherine & Gretchen got their bicycles off campus, cleared the patio furniture off the deck, got a battery operated radio, and prepared for no water or electricity on Thursday & Friday. Then Rita veered off to Port Arthur so they were spared in College Station. Nicole was planning to leave Houston with her family at 4 in the morning on Friday morning to avoid the big traffic jam.

Rita

Rita is hitting a whole bunch of the wonderful people I worked with in Baton Rouge. All the Civil Air Patrol members from Louisiana : Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Shreveport, Gonzoles, Abbeville, etc. & Keith from Lufkin, TX. are all getting tornadoes and flooding in their homes now.

Breakfast at Capital City Composite Squadron.

Coffee at 5:00 - breakfast by 6:00....
We slept in offices and meeting rooms on cots & sleeping bags. Chuck cooked breakfast each morning and we used the briefing room for a mess hall. The population of Baton Rouge doubled with the evacuees from New Orleans.... No hotel rooms to be had.
