BRScooter is okay

[brscooter]

This is Lyle Johnson's (BRScooter) son. We just went through a devastating hurricane here in Baton Rouge. He had a huge pecan tree fall on his living room roof while he was in the room. However, the tree damaged the exterior of the residence but it did not come through the roof. Nearly 100% of Baton Rouge is without power and he most likely will not have lights for 3 to 4 weeks. He & all of his family are safe, but hot & tired. As soon as he gets back online, he will be back communicating with ya'll.

Thanks for the post, been wondering if he was alright. I live in Bogalusa and we had no damage. My son lives in Greenwell Springs and they are ok. Tell him Kenny said hi and if there is any thing we can do to call me.

Thanks for the good news in that he or no-one else as hurt.

 

Tell him the VR.Org family says hi, and if there is any thing we can do to tell you so you can let us know.

 

Please also tell him if he needs to store his house hold stuff in a storage facility near him until the roof / house is repaired, that I will offer to pay the storage fee for him (up to $50.00 a month for 6 months) to help him out.

Thanks for the news....I was wondering how our Southern members were making out.

 

Looks like its gonna be a rough season.

Thanks for letting us know Lyle and his family are OK....boy, that was a close one!!! If he needs anything let us know! We will be right here waiting to hear from him!

Sure glad to here that they are alright. Dang those storms are nasty! Take care all of you in the path of them!

Thanks for posting the update. Just glad that no one was hurt. Going without power for several weeks is rough. I was going nuts by the third day here after Fay.

[DragonRider]

If he needs anything or we can do anything to help him out, just say the word. I know what he's going through, been through a few of those myself.........after all I lived in NOLA for 50 years. My son and his wife live in Albany, and they got their power back already, but others in the area are still doing without.

 

Glad no one was hurt, keep us posted.

Hi! I am at my son's washing clothes and took a look in here to see how evryone is doing. I thank you all for your concern, especially ECK, who has gone far past the normal (OH, that explains it) person wih his offer . Our living room took a real hit with the pecan tree and we need new struts in the attic, new roof, new soffet and new fascia in areas. Need the inside of the room fixed as it cracked the ceiling in a couple of places and then painted. After all of the outside work they can do the electical work and hopefully get the utility company to hook us back up. Sounds like at least a month. Hopefully that is all. I am very thankful that myself and family are all OK. That is most important.

 

Eck I am just kidding friend and your offer means more to me than I can ever express. If you ever need anything, just let me know and I will do whatever I can. Thanks Lyle
