Dayum, it looks like the eye passed right on top of Tim's island. Praying that everyone made it through safely!!!

I think our gifts thus far will be tiny compared to what will be needed...

that's what I was pondering last night. I wish I could get away for a few weeks to help organize a rebuild team. I'd be all over that.

Hope all is well I just can't fathom winds of that speed, when Ike rolled through here I though those winds were crazy.

235 KPH, so about 150mph. Still very bad, but down from the peak of 195 mph they were throwing around last night. It gives a little better hope that there something left there and that Tim and family are OK.

If you guys do go, please be aware of the extreme level of corruption. Even when you will be trying to help.
