[LCC] everyone okay?

[Don AA5AU]

Evacuated to Houston last Monday. Just got power back at the house tonight at 8 PM (neighbor called). Leaving in the morning to head back. Will stop in Lafayette "to make groceries".

Both towers held up this time thanks to some work I did the past couple years on the guy posts. The KT34 looks like it made it OK but the SteppIR looks destroyed but it may not be as bad as it looks.

I have spoken with several club members and am happy to hear that we, as a group, had very few issues with the hurricane. KN5O was without power and internet, but they were hoping to have things restored soon. K1DW is okay and AA5AU is safe. I have seen posts from KI5XP, who hasn't said there were any major issues in the Lafayette area, and KG5VK was fine near Shreveport. No club members around Monroe lost anything major, but one non club member, who had been inactive for over 10 years lost a 60-70 foot R-25 to a falling tree clipping its guys. It is now about 30 degrees from plumb, leaning against a stand of pine trees. A number of us, myself included seem to have lost end supported dipoles, but I purposefully use string that breaks before the wire or center connection point, so mine is a ten minute fix to get a new string over the
 tree. Hope everybody else fared well and will be ready for the upcoming contest season.
