Your parents have one hell of a son How's it going fellow die hard hard core ZEPPELIN fanatics including "ally" and "Dzldoc?" All I can say about "Dzldoc's" victory over Hurricane Gustav is Y-E-A-H!!!!! However, according to the news on TV, the war with Hurricane Gustav is still not over yet. There is still more to come from Hurricane Gustav with another Hurricane to follow. I do want to commend Dzldoc's courage in standing toe to toe against Hurricane Gustav. ROCK ON!

~tangerine~ Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 It's great to hear Dzldoc and his family are doing well. I hope the storm is finished it's course and will allow everyone to return home soon. Very courageous, Dzldoc, i hope your home is still in good shape and you stay safe!

MadScreamingGallery Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Thanks for sharing that with us and for going out of your way to keep in touch with Dzldoc - you've been a good friend to many people here on this Zep board. I think that it speaks to the kind of person Dzldoc is that he stayed with his parents and saw them through (what we hope was) the worst of Gustav.

Dzldoc Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Finally! Don't know how long it will last cell service spotty at best All I can say is AT&T and the edge network sux! We are fine still on generator power but no cable or DSL land line only A few squalls blowin in from time to time no flooding by us just some fences and trees, power lines down grand isle and laffitte to the south took a bad hit lower plaquimine east of the river has a levee breach and some topping of the industial canal in the lower 9th ward some barges broke loose in the Mississippi river and crashed the water intake system in st charles parish don't know about west of here near land fall yet still asessing the damages Yes we dodged the big one this time because it came in at the worst possible direction A cat 4 or 5 would have been Katrina x 4 Thanks for everyones kind words and encouragement Dzldoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquamarine Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Great relief to see you check in, dzldoc! Here's hoping the worst is now over, and that Hanna won't affect our friends on the east coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRB Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Things could have been much worse. Days out I knew Gustav had a chance to hit 5 and it almost did; it was fortuitous that even after it strengthened it was unable to maintain, or attain, Katrina-like status. Dzldoc is absolutely right; as a stronger storm it would have wreaked havoc with New Orleans in the right front quadrant. Despite what damage there is/will be, the area can be considered fairly fortunate for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRB Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Oh, I'm far away from all that; I just like the weather (and would do it in grad school if I had enough math/physics and the time to get them, oh well). It's been interesting watching Jim Cantore morph from just another desk guy on The Weather Channel to Mr. Cool Head-Shaved Sensational Well-Tanned Weatherman during this decade. He has groupies; it's scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
