Good Luck Terry,
I am sure I speak for many when I say I am sorry for any loss you may have incurred, as we are also glad all is well for you as can be at this time.
Good Luck!!!!

The good news is that there are still 8 sticks showing out the ground. I was worried the ground it stood on would have been eroded away. Once the most important human needs are addressed we can move to dreaming of rebuilding this yacht club - a little slice of paradise on the gulf coast

We are planning an expedition next weekend to Ocean Springs to help out the locals.

Chris.

Y'all are welcome in SLC, 4200 feet above sea level. But heartfelt congratulations on your survival, and best wishes for reconstruction of the yacht club and town.

Terry, Relieved to hear yet another family made it through without serious injury. I am so sorry you all are facing that unimagineable mess, and the tremendous challenges it presents! I just posted some comments on the importance of this forum to me personally, then came back to reread your post and saw Chris's. I like those Texas City folks! When it does come time to rebuild OSYC I'd like to find a way to contribute. Wishing you all a safe recovery from this disaster.
