Hey all, just wanted to drop a line and let you guys know that my family and I got out of Mandeville before the storm hit. We're in Dallas right now with no idea of how long it will be before we can get back home. We have lost all contact with our family members that decided to stay. My dog Woody was left behind at my mother-in-law's who also refused to leave. We have no way of finding out if they are still alive.

I brought my 930 back to Greff Motors in Jefferson, LA on Monday of last week to have him rebalance the tires. As of Friday that week the storm was predicted to hit Florida. I woke up on Saturday and the news was telling us that the storm was headed right towards us. We packed everything we could during the day Saturday. I was unable to contact Randy Greff to go get my car. I have no idea about it's condition. I'm hoping he pulled it into the shop and put it on a lift. Even then it's going to depend on how much water invades the city due to the levee breaks. Fingers are crossed.

I'm assuming his insurance will be paying for my car if it is indeed submerged in New Orleans. The car was worth much more than blue book as it is a collectors car with only 47,000 miles on it. I would assume that I will have a fight on my hands to get what my car is worth from his insurance. Any help in dealing with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I'm so sick I can't even begin to convey my feelings right now. The most important thing is that my family and I are safe. The scary thing is not knowing what I'm going to do to support my family now. I'm effectively out of work and a place to live right now. We'll be filing a cliam with FEMA to try and get some monetary help. We'll have to wait and see if a cliam will be needed for my home.

I pray for the families of Louisiana and Mississippi. God help you all.
