Hey Bart. I got your message. I spent all weekend it Florida eating and baking in the sun!! :beachbum:It was a last second trip and very nice to get back to the coast. Being from So. Cal. I really missed the sun and sand. So sorry I had to miss all of the excitement here though.
I got to watch it on the news and I do hope everyone is O.k.

What's up everyone.. As many of you know I live right off pennington bend which is right by the opryland hotel so my house got about 10 inches of water inside cause it's only a 1 story home...
Unfortunately they didnt let anyone know that they had opened the dam and that water would start gushing in so by the time we tried to leave by car it was too late and had to literally walk thru waist high water to get out of that area because we could not take the risk because of our newborn baby... Fortunately the cars didnt get too much water only a little bit inside..
The good things is that stuff can be replaced one day... people cant..

I feel your pain AI...
But for what it's worth...there are only @3,500 customers without power, down from @60,000 at the peak...
And consider this, NES lost 37 vehicles including 19 bucket trucks, 1/3 of the materials and most of the tools from one service center. Just think how that hurts recovery efforts... Of the 3,500 customers out, most are the ones in extremely flooded areas, and in many cases don't have a house any longer...so camping out in a dry house with no power might not be so bad...I know I preferred it...
Also, a tip, I have heard there might be a clean water shortage, so stock up on bottled...and conserve from the tap...I guess an RO/DI might supply us as well as the fishies...(I wouldn't trust it though, if the water becomes too poluted...)
Hope all are making it through this OK.

Power just came back this afternoon. I bought a crappy generator thinking the power wasnt gona come back but o well. I had 2 tank there, looks like most of the life in there is ok. Havent seen the helfrichi fire fish though. Added new carbon, cleaned out the HOB filters. Most of the power outlets are still not s.
I really appreciate you guys offering to help, luckily i didnt have a lot of livestock there.
