Title: EDNA is ok ....
Post by TxBasslady on Sep 1st, 2005, 7:14pm
After calling non stop for days....I finally got hold of Edna.

She, Danny and the kids are fine.   They have very minor damage, but no flooding.

Power and phones have been on for about 30 minutes.

She has no computer....but will let me know if there's anything they need.

Still no info on SteveG.. :'(     Edna has not been able to reach him either.

My truck was packed, and I was ready to make the trip to Edna's.   I decided to call one more time...and when her daughter answered, I was about in tears!

Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers.  Edna is very special to me, and I knew I couldn't rest till I knew she was ok.

OH Thank God! Jackie called me and I was so happy to hear she was ok. I don't know who I was worried about the Most. Edna or Jean.

I love you both! Edna when you get up and running I want to share a email or two with you, I got from some people with your same Last name that was in the storm.



Thank You Dear Lord! Please watch over others looking for loved ones !

Looter's have hit the streets of Raceland.

A group of people were bussed in from N.O. sometime today to a shelter in Raceland.

Edna and family are a bit edgy....seems as though these a$$holes are running up and down the streets.

Police force had their hands full the last few days...trying to patrol and make sure peoples homes were safe.  Some folks in town left before the hurricane hit, so there were several vacated homes.

Today, the Police in Raceland are busy with these weirdos that are running thru town scaring all the residents.    Edna said most of her neighbors are armed and without a doubt not afraid to shoot this scum.

Edna had a great idea...."turn off the cameras...for about an hour....shoot these bastards...and leave 'em lay."    

Anyway, they have plenty of family at the house with them, and will make sure someone is there at all times, in hopes the looters will move on.

This is a shame....as if folks haven't had a bad enough time already.

Jean, thank you. :-*
Edna, we will talk tomorrow.I want to hear your voice!
Chatted with Svenn this afternoon..I told him I just knew you and yours were just fine...........
so glad that has all been confirmed.......my knees were knocking........

Stand UP to those looters! If they were looking for some food to survive, noone would give it a second thought, but ..sheesh....I watched this in the Los Angeles riots......opportunists of the worst ilk.......they deserve to be shackled and run through town!

Steve and Family..we cant wait to hear from you as well.

PF and DF(that would be disaster-free) to all.

Thanks Jean. I'm glad to hear that Edna and family are safe.
Steve checked in from Mississippi last, I hope we hear from him soon. Is Port Gibson near Biloxi or Gulfport?

Title: Re: EDNA is ok ....
Post by TxBasslady on Sep 2nd, 2005, 1:06am
Nani,

Port Gibson is just south of Vicksburg, Mississippi.That would be southwest of Jackson, close to the Louisiana State line.

Now that I know Edna and family are ok, I am gonna put my resources to work on finding Steve & Dianne.

Steve was one of the first CH'ers I met.   December 2003, I met Steve, Tracey, Edna, Danny & BarbD, in New Orleans, down in the quarter.    

Y'all keep the prayers goin'...wherever Stevegeebe is, he knows we're here and thinking of him.

Jean

Fantastic news! :)

Post by LeLimey on Sep 2nd, 2005, 3:47am
Well I got that wrong! I woke up at 3am this morning absolutely convinced that Edna had just posted, so much so I almost came downstairs to check and as it turns out jean you posted this about five minutes after I went to bed!  ::)
So much for me being a witch huh?! (Actually I don't think that was the word used but it was close!)

Edna I'm so glad you and your family are safe. If you see anyone who looks threatening to you and yours just shoot them. You haven't survived all of that just to let some lousy scumbag make your life a misery now.

Jean thank you so much for letting us all know, I feel light headed I feel so relieved, lets hope we hear from Steve ASAP huh?

Thanks for letting us know about Edna -- now put your snoop cap on and FIND Steve and Diane....  ;;D I think they're our only MIAs right now. Didn't he have that place up in the woods outside New Orleans? Hopefully they're there and doing fine. At least that's the thought I'm holding on to.

OHHHH, THAT WAS NIIICE!

Just had a phone conv with Edna! She is her usual sweet, caring self. Her feathers seem to be unruffled and she is waiting to get power and cable back. Seems she has family staying with them, so, they are all safe and together.
She urges us all to dig into our pockets-NOT for herself, but for those less fortunate. Edna is actually just waiting for word that she can go be of help somewhere in this mess.
Edna is also concerned about Steve....his home is on Mandeville, and I guess there is a lot of destruction there. She thinks he headed for higher ground.
As I was telling her I didnt want to tie up the limited amount of lines for too long....the phone went dead.......I guess it was time for us to end our lil chat. :-/
So glad you are safe, Edna, my friend..........  ;;DNow, to hear from Steve..... :-/

Hey Gang,
We are in Memphis.  Phone# 901 396 3620 Rm. 167.

Family I've been able to get in touch with are okay.

I'm at the Memphis Public Library.

Don't know when we will be heading home.

Neighbor said that house sustained some damage but is livable.

Any local clusterheads ...give me a call.

Do not have time to read all the stuff but I hope all are okay.

This is so sad.  A lady in the Wal mart saw what I was buying and gave me a $20 and insisted that I have it.  I went to an isle and finally wept.  This is horrible.

I'll try to write back tomorrow.

It's good to hear from you Steve.

Is everyone accounted for now?

Title: Re: EDNA is ok ....
Post by TxBasslady on Sep 2nd, 2005, 4:03pm
Steve,

Whatever you and Dianne need is yours.   I think you already know that...but just want to say it again.

I will call you in a little while.

Do you need some $$?   We can get that to you without a problem.   Just say the word.

You and Dianne are welcome to come here to the lakehouse.   That's not a problem for us...just let me know, sweetie.   It's a helluva lot cheaper than a hotel.

When I call, I will give you the phone #.

Vibes and prayers....and lots of love to you.

Jean

Talking with Steve right now, on the phone. :) He and his family are in Memphis and all is well. He says to tell everyone hello and thanks for all the prayers and well-wishes. He said that they've got everything they need, and that he'll try to be on-line tomorrow.

Good talkin' with you, Steve. Be safe... My best to you and yours.

I talked to Steve last night he sounded real good. He is hard headed wouldn't take a dime from me.
He said he was going to try to get to the Libary today and post! You all pick up the phone and call him, he can't get to the computer and it cost him to call out.
Someone from there look him up and go have lunch with him !
Stay Safe Steve and remember let me know if you need something. I will do what I can for you!

I am glad to see that everyone is ok...

I already have another thread going, but I have not got much of a response...

Here in Florida, we have atleast 2 buses (60 passengers) that are leaving here on Tuesday night 9/6/05, going into the effected area.

We are going to bring supplies, mostly Bottled Water & Canned Meats, on the Return trip we will be offering Mothers & Their Children, Tranporation to Florida..

We are working with the Red Cross in about 5 counties and they are offering to help them once here in Fla. with everything they need.

If anyone knows an area where someone could use the Help or possibility be wanting out of the area, post and I will PM my number or I can call you...

I believe that the Red Cross is trying to reach people there and get an area for us to go to, but we are just trying to get help to as many as possibile...

I am not asking nothing from anyone, we have the supplies.. just trying to get help in there...

Thanks All !!!

Just talked to Steve and he and Diane are fine - still in shock - their house got some damage, but it's still standing - just don't know when they can get back to it. Their neighbor got back in and is watching out for it.

They seem to be doing fine right now. I gave him the "mom" lecture about not trying to get back before everything is safe and he said "yes mam" (like he "really" meant it - yeah right!).

So just keep them in your prayers for now....

Hugs BD

Thank you all.

Really don't even know where to begin at, and quite actually, I'm still at a loss for words. My heart is so warmed by all your caring.

Oh God, thank you ever so much for providing me with such "another" caring family.

STEVE!!!  Thank God you all are safe. I was soooooo worried about you'll. AND NOW I'm telling you.......stay out of there as long as they say to.  PLEASE take up ther offer from your family here. Both Jean and Barb are serious in their offer, and you couldn't have better sisters to trust. A hotel is too expensive. SHEESH, today was scary hearing FEMA officials talk about the cleanup. I'm trying to call you right now as I'm online here. No luck.

Thank you all, and please continue to pray for relief.

Gotta go, can't even read the screen much anymore.

love you all,

pf wishes,
