Trof is OK
For all concerned...his dock is underwater but his house is not submerged. They have power but their server is down so he can't post...he's watching huge sections of the dock float past him...he and MizT are ok.

He may have enough lumber to build another dock with the lumber that has floated up into his yard. He wanted me to thank everyone for their concern and wish his fellow gulf coast DU'ers well.

He took pics and will post them as soon as he has service again.

At least we know one of our beloved DUers is safe.

12. Thanks so much for the update, darlin!
I was worried about my Alabama DU friend down there in the thick of it - trof and mrs. trof and all the other loved ones (DUers and others) who are riding this one out have been on my mind constantly.

Good to have a bit of good news today. Please keep the updates coming, anyone who has a chance to talk to one of our DU family in Katrina's path!

22. Tell Trof that another native Alabamian and fellow DUer
is thinking of him and of his wife.

Wolf Bay isn't too far from Pensacola where my brother has a vacation place. Has anyone heard how Pensacola is faring?
