Les,
I assume you are referring to me. (N395V)
We were on the western edge of the eyewall when it came by winds by then (over
here) were down to Cat II.
The house sustained minimal damage (repaired the next day) Barns sheds trees took
a pretty bad hit but that is now also cleaned up.
Used to have a condo on the coast in Pass Christian and it is now a vacant lot.
My hangar lost it's roof and doors and had the plane been in it it would have been
toast. Luckily (if you remember a recent post) I had screwesd up my canopy
and the Rocket was in a hangar in Atlanta where I am repairing it.
Power returned here yesterday, water has been back on for 3 days and phone service
is still intermittent.
All in all we feel very fortunate. Most severe damage in Mississippi was between
the beach and the railroad tracks (about 1/2 to 2 miles) Where destruction was
pretty much total.
Further inland (with a few exceptions damage was mainly downed trees, roofs and
major badness for the utilities. Poplarville and Picayune were the only 2 cities
away from the coast, that I know of that recieced substantial damage.
Things here are approaching normal. Plenty of food gas etc.
I certainly appreciate the thought though.
I also belong to the Cessna Pilot's Assoc and was a member of the Twinn Commander
List. It is amazing the concern that pilots (more thanothers) seem to have
for each other during troubled times. The offers of help and aid have been quite
comforting over the past 2 weeks.

DO NOT ARCHIVE Hi Milt, So glad your situation was not extreme. Sorry about
your condo. Sometimes God works in mysterious ways. I.E. the canopy
problem which landed your Rocket in Atlanta. Is there anything I can do for you,
or someone you know. I have a (too) large house for just my wife and myself.
We can accommodate about 10 people, and my hangar will easily accommodate a
couple more aircraft. I'll just leave the tractor and boat outside for
awhile. Another question, can I be of any assistance by offering my Rocket or
my
American Champion (nee Aeronca) Champ? I can drop supplies from the Champ,
or evacuate people or move small amounts of cargo very rapidly in the Rocket.
I am retired so I am available, although none of the associations I have
contacted so far wants the Rocket. They can only visualize an A-36 Bonanza or
larger. Please contact me if there is anything I can do for you or your
neighbors. Les Featherston Mt Vernon, MO, 417-466-4663 DO NOT
ARCHIVE
