...Hi `Kane,
Did you have any damage to your home (area) or your Monte Carlo ? I can relate to no power (It happens here all the time in Florida), but it sure is great when it comes back on. A back up generator is always a good investment `if one can afford.

I seen much of the intense damage on the web & on T.V. and it's always sad to see how destructive Mother Nature can be.
She's been outa control this season.


It's always a `Sad event when people are killed, injured & everything they own is destroyed....

A reminder to enjoy every good day, and also how fragile our human life can `be....A reminder to live your `day, because we never know what 2morrow will bring...
I think it's time to Party & Celebrate our Now, our `Life : )
Look forward to your update, and we wish you better sunny weather 4-Sure...Peace`Out

I saw the coverage of the damage in Alabama and Mississippi on the Weather Channel. I couldn't believe all of the destruction; it looked like something you'd expect out in Kansas or someplace else in Tornado Alley.
Glad you were able to get through it OK (aside from losing your power).

..Hi `Kane,
Sorry to read about the loss of your H.S.`Friend & all the devastating loses to so many in your area. Life on Planet Earth is fragile for sure. I hope that your Monte is OK, but it can be replaced or fixed if it's damaged. You family/friends can not. Please keep us updated & we all wish you the best in recovering from this nightmare. Good Luck & prayers from the MCF.
