Y'all will love this: look at the video link just to the right of this story promoting the wonders of the geo-tubes. (i was reading this link in another thread when I noticed it--couldn't figure out how to post the link directly to the video...)

You willl probably have to copy and paste this link--it's to a story on the drowning. The video link is just to the right of the text of the story...says something like "Walton Co may have found a way to deal with beach erosion..."

Hope I did this right--not an experienced poster....

I couldn't get it.

Welcome new poster (slim) Shady.
I think you copy and pasted the wrong link. That seems to be the link which I posted regarding the drowning. You got it partially correct, just edit it, and change it to the correct web address.

Sorry--I need to go back to message board 101.
It's the right link, but you'll have to copy and paste. The video says something like "Walton County may have found a way to deal with beach erosion..." (the video is to the right of the story on the drowning..)

You are doing great. Not that long ago, I remember not knowing how to post a link, a thread, a photo, or how to edit. The people on this board are very helpful in helping you along, just ask.

Found the link, but I use Firefox for my browser, and I think that is preventing me from seeing the video. I don't know how you would provide a link directly to the video, just go back and edit the post to include what you stated,

"The video says something like "Walton County may have found a way to deal with beach erosion..." (the video is to the right of the story on the drowning..)"

man oh man, what a mess!

ok, 3 things real quickly just to get them off my chest about nola/coast:

1) if they were not on a big boat they should have evacuted. that's it, period. no whailing about how bad it hurt them, they should have got out when they were told. if they'd have even gone to the superdome they or their loved ones would be wet but would still be alive today. harsh judgement for stupidity.

2) generators are great, but gas is expensive, and oh boy, do they eat gas

3) my heart goes out to the folks that lost their homes (provided they obeyed the mandatory evacutaion) and they are everywhere, so try to find somebody to help in your local area. I simply called the holiday inn in birmingham, alabama, immediately found a family that came from Slidell, and paid for their room for 2 days. The hurricane rate was cheap! They can't go back for days and even the cheap rate adds up for these folks.

that's about it about that

we still don't have power and it was very hot today here in north central alabama (I left mizippi when I was told to go). went down to the gas station and got 12 gallons of gas for the generator. it had gone up a dime since yesterday, so I hate to see it this weekend. rv was so cool after being outside. just don't know how those without power and no rv and generator are going to make it.

I love the Donut Hole - this is a great gesture! They have great sandwiches - the reuben is really terrific. Hopefully, I will be able to get back in October and I will visit them even more frequently. :laughing1

BTW, Baton Rouge is now the largest city in Louisiana and one of the biggest in the southeqst. Estimates have our population nearly doubling to one million with the evacuees.

By choice, I have lived in the woods for several months. I cannot imagine not being properly equiped and being forced to live without the comforts of "home," like running water, water period, food, A/C, etc. For those who survive the tradgedy, I hope they all learn something about themselves. It could be life-changing.

There may be other local businesses doing similar things. I just caught the Donut Hole in the act of spreading goodness. :clap_1:
