We evacuated New Orleans which is why Alan's peace was disturbed. Left
Tuesday and returned Thursday. We had no rain and very little wind. Had to
pick up twigs and old limbs (nothing big). Had put all of my trees and
benches down, for just is case. Seeing the pictures of what happened to
Gulf Shores, we did right.
I have a growing area that is without watering system. Lost about 15 trees
being grown as material. None of my semi-bonsai were harmed in any way.
Many things to be grateful for.

Jim: SW Louisiana was totally untouched by the storm. We had
lots of refugees filling up the hotels and the Civic Center,
though. We could use the rain, but I'll take it the old fashioned
way! ;-)

I guess this is an indication that you made it through Ivan OK,
Alan?
It squeezed right in between us. I lost one (big) tree. No
bonsai.
