Just got off the phone with Ron. Long Beach still without power, and Gas...
Their Jeep ok, the Saab not. 5 feet of water in the streets. The big news, his Road warrior is still with us, Ron jacking it fore and aft as the water came in, using
wood to raise the car. He'd run out of blocks...but the water stopped at the hubs. He figures only rear wheel bearings need replacing. The entire community under state police control..no driving after 5. Urban camping mode.

Generally, a mess...but he & Marianne survived it all.

I'm going to let Ron fill in details and post pics later..when he's back online.

He did request I post the following quote:
"The cancer didn't get me, so they had to send the ocean. They still failed!"

He grew up in Long Beach...said that he's seen it before. Stuff to expect when you live on a sandbar.

Yeah, Ron IS one tough mudder! I'm glad to have met him.
