Just found out I am being deployed to the Luisiana Delta Region as part of the FEMA response to prepare for Hurricane Gustav........with that I will need some folks to take over the fish-in and possible the Cast For Kids Event......would like to stick around and give more info but have to be in Tukwila by 1600.
AMR is the ambulance contractor for FEMA and is sending 300 ambulances into the region for mass evacuation and I have been told it can be up to a 14 day deployment so...........
See ya'll when I see ya'll Tongue Tongue

Returned from Texas on Sunday the 7th after 9 days in the Texas heat!
96 degrees with 45% humidity will do some damage to your feet and your sleep as we got only 4-5 hours per day!
We had approx 500 ambulances deployed in our theatre of operations and drove approx. 2200 miles just in the state of Texas!
Due to our company policy I cannot post pics or much info until FEMA Public Information Officer gives the OK  Lips Sealed so will post some later although we saw no damaged areas from Gustav.
Glad to be home but have already been put on alert for deployment back to Texas or maybe Louisiana depending on where Hurricane Ike points at so hope to see ya'll at Potholes! Huh

Larry,
Good luck down there.  You must be racking up some OT or hazard pay.  Anyway, you don't need to prefish Potholes... Wink

Larry,

Swing up to Missouri and we can go out to LOZ or Tablerock.  Be safe out on the roads, a lot of bad drivers out.
