Keepin' your powder dry Valdez, Cordova, Seward???
« on: October 11, 2006, 11:06:48 PM »
Dave and other loyal folks in Valdez, Seward and Cordova.  Hope you're surviving this flooding ok.  TV news makes things look kinda uncomfortable to downright bad.

Man its been wet this fall. I hear we're 10 inches of precip above normal for this time of year here in Dillingham.  Cabin fever season is starting early this year.

Stay safe and let us know how you are, when things settle down.

Dave, and anyone else in Valdez.  See in the paper that you are stranded, highway washed out.  Also that it may take a week to repair the road.  Hope you got plenty of supplies.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Thanks for the kind words guys.  I am fine and the town pulled through pretty good.  No major damage to homes.  The road is another story.  I just foew back from Anchorage and have not gotten an update yet.  Could be a few days to months depending on the bridge damag.e

Thanks, Dave

Though we did have a river flowing across the road, the road never washed out here in Seward.  Silvers swimming across the highway, third time I've seen it here in my life.  My family was alright, houses in good locations, but some didnt fair as well.  Foundations washed out, gonna be a heck of a cleanup for somepeople.  We are lucky to have fairly good drainage around the town here.
