Thanks for the update, Pete. I'm praying for you both.

Yep, sure did. In the New Iberia accident I linked, it derailed a bunch of rail cars too and had the highway next to the tracks shut down for a few weeks in the area of the accident if I remember correctly.

I probably shoot around 90% 357 Mags out of my N frames. Of course, that big old N frame takes a lot of sting out of full power loads anyways and I reload my own, so I don't try to load max loads for range fodder. But they are hotter than mid-range loadings for sure. Now with 44 Mag I tend to...

Another dumb 18 wheeler driver trying to get a low boy trailer over a raised train track! They had an accident like that a little over a year ago with a dummy truck driver going off route and trying to cross at a no lo-boy marked crossing that got smacked by a train. It had LA182 shut down there...

Glad to hear you got through the storm in good shape, Caj! I've been unbuttoning the house this morning and getting things back to normal.

Congratulations on your latest grandson, Onomea! I became a first time grandpa in January of this year.

Hey Gary, glad to hear you made out OK. I imagine that unless CajunLawyer checks in by cell phone, it might be a few days before he gets back to us. Looking on the channel 10 website I found a power outages video that shows 13,000+ of 19,000 without power today in St. Mary Parish. Jim

Good to hear you aren't getting much from this storm, Charlie. It wasn't bad for us around Loreauville, LA either. I imagine Caj got it harder though as he lives a lot closer to where Francine came ashore.

Things are winding down now. This one wasn't bad at all for us. Winds might have gotten up to 50 mph in gusts and we never lost power either. I'd guess winds are now around 15-20 mph and the rain is almost finished with. I imagine Caj got it a bit worse than me though, so don't be surprised if...

I just looked at their website and just looking at their Alliant powder listings pegged my scam meter out. Their prices are much too low for the here and now! $280 for an 8 lb keg of 2400? Just look at the pricing for that at Powder Valley for instance. They don't have 2400 in stock, but they...

Prayers for you all, Pete.

It hasn't been too bad here so far. It's probably worse over where Caj lives though, as they are much closer to where the eye wall came in. Lucky for us there is a significant amount of dry air being injected into the storm from the jet stream, which is disrupting the formation of a complete eye...

It's been drizzling all day long here around Loreauville, LA. Winds have been slowly picking up all day and I would estimate them around 20-25 mph right now. Just a nasty day altogether.

I was thinking of along those lines, chief38. I was thinking a USPS money order.

Yeah, just watched a clip on this on the CBS website. You can be sure there will be some peeing in the bottle for the A-350 flight crew for sure and probably the CRJ crew too. And yes, the video I just watched clearly shows the tail section was sheared off of the fuselage. I kind of doubt that...

Good morning y'all. Looks like to me that Caj is gonna get a smack dab in the middle hit. I'm going to be on the west side by around 30-40 miles and luckily for me, I'm not nearly as close to the coast as Caj. I spent most of the day yesterday getting ready for the storm, picking up and...

Thanks for answering my question, Steve. I doubt it will stop the motor much in the middle of the day around here then during summer. I usually keep the thermostat set at 65 and on recirc in my truck unless it's cloudy during the summer months just to stay ahead of the heat. Still it's yet...

Wow, mom sure cursed her child when she named her that for sure, Chad. That is one scary name! :D

Around 10-15 years ago I had replaced my bathroom sink faucet with a Pfister Savannah 43-H0XC faucet and the roating part of the neck finally started leaking. When I unscrewed the retaining nut and pulled the neck out of the body, I found that the rather large o-ring that seals it had split. I...

Glad to hear you made it back home, Dorothy............errr.......... Rusty1953! :D Don't laugh too hard and get well soon man!
