And find out if they need anything we might could help with

Praise the Lord, we just got our power back! We are fine, just a little frazzled from "camping out" for 11 days and 23 hours.
Just got done wiring the well back up and doing away with all the extension cords to the freezers and refrigerators. Our son brought us another generator a few days ago and that made the ordeal more palatable, not having to roll the generator back and forth from the well to the house. I finally realized I could tow it with the golf cart.
Thank you Dale for reporting our status to the fine folks on the forum!.
We had no damage to our house, thank the Lord! Our pump house was damaged by a very large old growth Long Leaf Pine that fell due East. Had it gone the direction of the majority of the pines it would have fell to the South and taken out a transformer pole, snatched the service/meter from the wall and then fell on the house. It was the hand of God directed that big ol' pine to fall without destroying our well, pressure tank and controls! It was also His hand that allowed the Live Oak and Pine next to our house to still be standing!
I want to say thank you to each of you who commented on our condition and prayed for us! I've been through many hurricanes over my 70+ years but never one like this. Our daughters place in Panama City had a broken sliding glass door, she has someone else's roof in her back yard but they got water back fairly soon and also power a few days ago. Our son in Thomasville, GA lost power for several days but no damage. Our last stand of 35 year old pines are a real wreck, it is what it is.
The phone line and DSL are acting strange but that too will pass.
It's good to be back on the forum!

Heeey, Phil Welcome back!

Great to have you back treefarmer.

Scott and Philip back, so good.

Welcome back Phil, glad to see you and Joy made it through without *too* much hassle. All the stories coming out of northern FL were giving me flashbacks to Wilma in 2005 and spending 26 days with no power. It sure did knock the will for "camping" out of me for quite a long time...

My best to your neighbors still digging out and putting everything back together.

Welcome back Phil. You have been missed and there's been a bunch of prayers sent up for you and Miss Joy.
