Terry Wiegand Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Has anyone heard or talked with Marty Roth? I know that he is in the New Orleans area and we sure hope that they are OK. The pictures on the news doesn't look good at all for these folks in this part of the country.

rocketraider Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Someone posted that the Roths had decamped to central MS till the storm passed. Looks like it went right thru there too. I cannot imagine returning to all that devastation. New Orleans has shown it's resilient though. To anyone here who got caught in Ida, hopefully you survived with no loss of life and little loss of property. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 No electricity is going to be rough, since reliable electricity is paramount to keeping modern life going. It and airconditioning are no longer luxuries. They are necessities. Then the vultures and opportunists will move in with as many generators as they can pack in a truck and sell them to desperate people for 3-4 times normal price. Some people have no conscience or scruples even in disaster. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of times in large lots. There was no chance of getting one as they would bid up to anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
