I know this has nothing to do w/ powerlifting but......Just checking to see if everyone is ok Of course, if you're reading this you must have electricity, so you're probably doing better than most. I live in Houston, but I have about 150 employees that live in the New Orleans, Houma, Missiissippi, and Southern Alabama area. Out of 150 employees I've been able to speak to about 10 of them. These people are in a very bad way. The 10 people I have been able to reach said that they were able to make it over here to Texas before the storm hit, but they were unable to go back home because the National Guard is not allowing anyone back into these areas for the time being. In all of these areas there are NO phone lines, cell phones, nothing. NO means of communication. I know the areas most of these people lived, and I know that they will be returning to nothing. Not damaged homes, but NO HOMES. We have been working around the clock here trying to get my employees money, food, whatever they need. A company is only as good as it's employees. I live by that. Just wondering if anyone else out there has been hit hard by this storm. My prayers, thoughts, and efforts go out to all of you and these families that may have been affected by this horrible storm.
