Here's an email just sent to me by Larry Long..

Wray,

I've talked to Dee by phone and Chip and told them to let everyone know we are safe and at present
staying with a friend in Gulf Breeze who has a guest room attached to their home. We had extensive
damage to our home and are dealing with insurance and fema now. Looks like I will need to rebuild
at
least half of our home. Its nothing we can't weather, we have our health, and it will probably
take
6 months to a year to rebuild. But we will manage somehow. After coaching for ten years and sales
the other 25, not much can hold me back.
Thank everyone for me for all their prayers. I'm on a friends computer now and won't be able to
check mail but once a week for right now, just have a lot on my plate.

Look forward to seeing all of y'all again soon.

Wray, let Larry know how much we appreciate the note from him. It was good to find out directly from him that they are ok, and that we are very sorry to hear about their home. I'm just glad that they were "outta there" when the storm hit.

This has been an icredible experience waiting to hear from so many through so many storms. The connections that have formed between all of us after so many years still amazes me, and it's wonderful to be a part of the "watch".

Will do Vicki, he is doing OK now. There are lots of people "rethinking" their retirement to the Sunshine State. I saw one couple saying, they would move back to Michigan! I will keep you posted.

Now I know that's not Bill and Peggy Allen!

Hey Judy! No, it's not Bill and Peggy....just saw some people commenting on the news about all the storms.
