I hope Mr. Pyxichick is ok also.
I was finally able to watch news coverage last night, I can't even imagine how everyone is coping. So scary and really enforces the fact that all of us need a disaster plan and phone tree.
Am hoping for the best for all the TE people and their loved ones...am also hoping the missing people are just stuck somewhere trying to get home.

Reminds me I have emergency supplies at home and always refining what I've got. I've been meaning to have a kit in the car and at work. You can get stuck somewhere for a while. Originally Posted by teigyr

what an absolutely horrifying tragedy... my thoughts are with everyone living there and with loved ones there... so, so sad.
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

hugs to the Twin Cities
From the lower end of the Mississippi - ((((((((upper Miss))))))))
Gives me the willies - like most cities we'd be lost without our bridges. Nationally we're getting towards the end of the lifespan for many bridges, and unfortunately most are not funded for replacement. I miss my innocent days before I started working for a huge engineering firm. In the old daze I just worried about biology things.
Hug a civil engineer they get to figure out how to make our aging bridges last a wee bit longer, design new ones, and figure out what went wrong.
Clogged phone lines - we managed to do it for weeks after Katrina. Cell phone companies were begging people to text message since it uses a different frequency than voice and goes faster. I could call out - I was evacuated out of the area "roaming" but no one could call me. Phone calls within the area code were the most difficult. So, yes, call someone out of the area, or email, to let everyone know you're OK in case of a disaster.Beth

I'm really hoping that the only reason we haven't heard from the Pyxichick family is cuz the communication lines are overloaded.
