Gary, You could not have gotten through on the phone anyway. We had no local cel service. All power was out to everything. We were totally cut off for several days. Finally KAST got a Satellite phone and got some messages out. Some generators showed up, but it was something else. I appreciate ever

Craig, Thanks. I barely got a message to Bill from a distant cel tower, I believe on the Long Beach Pen., WA, but it was weak and it was hard to get enough signal to do much with. I thank Bill for posting the message on the list. We were without about everything communication-wise including no 9-1

Pat, I am glad you made it OK through the recent round of storms. Hopefully Mother Nature will give you a break for a while. You and your coastal neighbors have been through enough recently. Thanks to Bill Block for keeping us posted while you were incommunicado. Craig Barnes Wondervu, CO --- P

Patrick, We saw the Northwest Cable News coverage of the disaster in Seaside, and since your power was out, we wondered if you were OK. Still had your cell phone # from the summer visit, but saw Bill Block's post, and knew you were all right. I guess it's one thing to drive to Seasi

Gary, Thanks for the invite, but fortunately I still have a house. But I was beginning to wonder for a while. I think I-5 ended up at one point being 10 feet under water. I don't think it ever has been flooded that much. The experts are saying that this was the worst storm to hit the OR/WA coasts

Rich & Dennis, Thanks for your concern. Our power came on Wednesday night, about 72 hours it was off. But at I type this Saturday night, there are still many that do not have power. Seaside/Gearhart got power Friday night. But I did eat breakfest over at Camp Rilea a couple of mornings. I lived on

Patrick, We (myself, Ruth and Danny) feel very happy that you are safe. During the worst part of the storm when we heard about how hard Seaside was hit, we discussed offering you shelter in our spare bedroom. But when the TV reported how I-5 was under 8 feet of water at Chehalis (and
