My electricity finally came on in my area, almost 2 weeks after the direct hit. When riding through town, I seen trucks from kentucky, ohio, florida, north carolina, and even california working in my city to get power polls standing and lines working again. They did a remarkable job in cleaning up most of the mess that katrina left.

Thanks everyone, the outreach on this board is unbelievable. You are all great and i'm glad to call each and every one of you family. I'm sure there are still alot of things that you guys know that I don't know yet because the only news i've been getting the past two weeks is what was being said on the radio. After I post this, i'm actually gonna try and find out scores, news, and stats from the Bills preseason games, because I haven't heard much of anything to do with the outside world. There are a couple friends who lived directly in the city of NO who I will be trying to locate now that I have electricity and web access finally. I'll let you guys know my story soon, and anything going on locally with evacuees that the news aren't reporting.

Hey Brian, good to hear from you dude, my family is safe and sound. I'll be contacting you soon.

Just want to say that I made it through Katrina safe and sound. Surprisingly I had no major damage to my house, only lost roofing and siding for the house. Every tree in my yard were ripped completely out of the ground, roots and all. My house dodged a huge oak tree from the yard across the street that snapped and missed my house by a couple feet. This couple across the street wasn't so lucky as their mobile home was ripped to shreds. No cell phones have been working the past 2 weeks. For a while, LAN line phones haven't been working either. I waited 2 1/2 hours in line to get gas at a local station that still had gas left over this past weekend. Unbelievable! I just cannot believe what is going on down here. I haven't even had time to gather my thoughts about the whole situation because it's devistating. Suddenly football doesn't really matter all that much anymore. Thanks to all who sent prayers my way, and please keep sending them to my fellow locals who wasn't so lucky, especially New Orleans. God Bless and Go Bills!!

This will be my last post until this thing is pass us. This is the storm that we have feared for many many years, and it's coming in like it would in a movie script, only it's reality. Guys and Gals, please pray for us as we get through this. Reality is, if you don't hear from me in about 3 or 4 weeks, well then I didn't make it. I don't usually get scared of much, but I am not afraid to admit this storm has me scared to death. Take care everyone and I have all intentions to be back posting on here in a couple days/weeks when humanity is restored. GO BILLS!!!!!

Great, now this monster looks to be coming right in my back yard!

Thanks for the heads up, i'll have to look for it.

Wasn't the Patriots Division 1AA when Tasker was playing?

#6, i'll take it. With 5 top 25 teams on the schedule, we need to take care of our own business.

Oh no! Hunter has been an inspiration for many people around the world. He will be missed. God please bless Hunter & the Kelly's, friends, and family today.

Here's some photos of Bills players doing the packer tradition by riding the bikes to practice today. http://www.packers.com/pg/2005-08-04/

Can't wait to see Skeleton Key. Looks like a great movie. I live in Terrebonne Parish where the movie is set.

Thanks for the reminder, I didn't realize we were so close.

haha, yep, I do believe that's him.

Still love the new helmets! Great pictures! Sweet catch by Roscoe.

One way i'm improving is by learning to swat the ball with your safety in practice mode, then play as your safety when you suspect the deep ball.

If the steelers don't negotiate, they are really stupid. Hines Ward is one of those players you make an exception for. I heard somewhere's that he was around the 37th highest paid WR in the league. That's rediculous.

Cablelady is really BF, cause no one else could love him except himself!

That's cause he's not being pampered by Pete Carroll anymore, no more soft bullsh!t, he's in Saban's camp now.

I usually mail my memory card to DT Linder at ps2rosters.com. Should be getting mine back any day now.

Eric just told me a couple days ago that he hasn't gotten them yet, and the Saints didn't give him an exact date.

three years and I still don't believe it!

Thanks everyone, my wife had to work today, so I used the day to relax and catch a movie. Nothing like a nice, peaceful day to myself without having to worry about work and honey do lists.

wow, 15 years since the Bengals made the playoffs? Now THAT's depressing.
