I think I can get to him Owen. Have a good friend working disaster clean up close to his area. Called him and he said he would help me get in to him if need be. Bud posted there are some roads open but pretty sketchy. I have got his address but am worried about cell service and trying to run gps to take me to his address. Just now thought about that.

I was just thinking the same…though normal landmarks, even street signs likely won’t be standing. After a storm like that, nothing will be recognizable. So a clear description of roads to turn on, then highlight the route on a map. The roads can be counted till the correct ones are found. GPS can still help , by viewing the map while driving, which will show the names of roads on approach to each one. A double check between manual counting and GPS.

Didn’t think to do that for a backup. Guess I should have paid more attention in school instead of chasing girls. Will get them printed off tomorrow and try to get the rest of the stuff gathered up. Gonna be a long day and a short night. Wouldn’t have it any other way grin

Anybody else that has dealt with hurricane aftermath, post some things that he could use in case he can’t get back to me. Thanks

Everything y’all said, and solar out door lights, so he can charge them in the day and put them around the inside of his house so they can see at night. With out using power. Bug spray. Matches, ice, tire plugs and if anyone is going down there, bring a extra spare tire, lots of nails and screws, medicine , roofing nails, hygiene stuff, tarps, rope, gas, propane. Box fan. Plus can food , pet food I don’t know what he has, but someone will use it if he doesn’t. My church already been there a few times with supplies and help. You should be fine, just don’t leave your truck by itself. Thank you for helping!! To me , going through the storm was the easy part! Dealing with the aftermath is the hard part! It is very mental!! It’s not like it used to be. Bud has a long way to go. It’s not easy. I’m still dealing with it! Between new building codes and FEMA, and the high cost to repair and insurance not paying! It takes a toll on you! People will go in and act like they are contractors , and take money from people who don’t know better and leave! I could tell y’all some stories. Just Becarefull, and use your common sense, and you will be fine. God Bless!

Thanks gator foot. Didn’t think about solar light deal. How close in can you get before gas stations are closed. Want to make sure my truck is full before I start in there so I got enough to get out. Hate for someone to have to rescue me.

Ok I have a small window of cell service now. Service slowly coming back, highway 308 was closed today, la1 was opened then closed to clear to bring in heavy equipment and utility trucks, roads ok but be careful, there are still powerlines and poles poking into roadway you need to slow and avoid so you dont hit them. I have lots of drinking water, red cross and national gaurd took care of water. No good water in our faucets yet. The slight trickle we had we were notified will be cut off tomorrow. Guess they working on pipes, trees uprooted water and gas lines. Gas for gen is priority. I stay 5 hours in a line yesterday, only allowed 10 gallons per vehicle. I have a grill and lots of propane bottles. Dont panic at the sight of all the overturned boats you'll see. Alot, they have been checked for people.

There are no places to stay here, lucky to find a bathroom. Toilets in house not working, sewer system flooded. I had 2 incidents with looters, last night my best friends brother had a 2 x 4 cracked over his head by a looter. Fresh fruit, omg fresh fruit
Soft drinks but I dont drink it, for wife and daughter, coke and or dr pepper
I only drink meo water flavor enhancer, no sugar, I'm diabetic. Strawberry watermelon
A church here gave us a fresh bread today, it came from heaven or it tasted like it did
Chef boyardee, they make ravioli, I tried a can today, its potted meat wrapped in pasta hidden in tomato sauce
We've gotten the same mre box 8 days straight. Same 4 nasty something in tomato sauce
Church who gave us bread also gave us a can of spam. We ate sandwiches for supper
My outdoor frig had good hotdogs but its 2 streets away now, we can see it
We never found a 30 x 30 awning I had over my back door
Pic buzzy posted is a house that blew up 25 feet from my house, roof crashed into my house first then blew away
I finally got some bit of cell service today but spotty. I got to call my insurance company, they marked my claim urgent
Church groups helping alot, two separate churches have help me with some food and water
One gas station selling limited supply, 10 gallons each, I stayed 5 hours in line yesterday but filled cans for gen, son brought me more gas
No grocery stores open, all damaged badly
We thought we saw cvs pharmacy might be opening, seriously needed
That's about it, mind in a tailspin, when some have ask what do you need, all I can come up with is my life back. That's all I want but afriad that may never happen, my town will recover but I'm afraid it will take generations

You're right it'll never happen, at least not as it was before. You just can't go back but it will get better. I saw everything I had known from childhood go away in one horrible night. The entire landscape was gone, landmarks I knew like the back of my hand were just gone. I watched my parents slowly but surely rebuild their lives for well over a year before you could even begin to think thing might be normal ever again.
That was 23 years ago and life goes on. Hang in there, Bud, you got alot of folks pulling for you.

Not sure if you're getting weather reports but looks like the worst of it is your going to get very wet this week. Reports say not much chance of strengthening but could dump several inches.

I don’t know. Just make sure you have extra supplies for you, like he said, gas stations will have long lines and limited gas. I would hate for you to wait in line for gas and they ran out as you got to the pump. Hang in there Bud! I promise it does get better!! Like what we keep saying, how do you eat an elephant, one bite at a time! Every board you pick up, is one less board! Watch the heat, stay positive! And make sure you take all the pictures for insurance , do what you can, don’t get in a rush! You don’t need to get hurt. A small infection turns big fast! And please Becarefull with the generators! The wind can blow the fumes in your house! We lost more people after the storm than during it! Don’t let depression set in! I know that’s all you see and smell and hear, but, the chainsaws will stop , the generators will stop, and the smell will go away and trash will be picked up! It will get better! I promise! Hang in there! God Bless!

Hay Bud, I don’t know if y’all are already doing this. While you are using your generator, you can charge your boat batteries and hook up a power inverter to it at night to give y’all some extra power without the generator!

Bud if you read this, planning on being there around 4pm Wednesday, give or take an hour either direction. That’s if we don’t have any hiccups. Be watching for dark red Chevy, pulling a red enclosed trailer. Missouri plates. Try to call me (816-804-9839) text or PM me on this board.

Bud, if you need any meds, if you can call them in but cannot get to pick them up, let WT88 know and he can get them on his way to you.

Ok Bud. But if you cannot get there for some reason, WT88 will surely swing by and pick them up.
