Hurricane Ivan

[Guest guest]

My brother in law was a basket case as he lives right on the water in

Tampa, Florida. He is working at a hospital in W.Va. and called the

other day to say he was so worried he felt like he was having a

stroke, could I please help him with the QXCI (the guy is an MD).

Well, he told me last nite over dinner that right after I treated him

he felt so relaxed he started making jokes about Ivan. He felt like

his worries and concerns were turned over to someone else. He could

sense the " someone else " dealing with the panic and fear and worry.

Needless to say, brother in law was quite impressed.

So, I figured this morning, why not put Hurricane Ivan on the QX and

see if I could help him out? He showed a really high RFP score and

most of the frequencies that showed up were related to hyperactivity

and excess energy conditions. NLP was suggested -- therapies like jet

lag, open mind, dissipate karma, aggression control 2. In

Biofeedback, " expiration " was called for as well as " stomach. " We'll

see what happens.

Do you have an emergency power plan or location? Do you have battery

backup power for the ventilator until you can get somewhere with power?

Re: Hurricane Ivan

I am so glad you survived. I live here in southeast of Ga and I tell

you we have had I share. Now there is another one and it looks like it

may come my way. So please pray . I have a 5 yr. old daughter on a

ventilator due to sma type 1.

Just wanted all of you to know that we are fine. Mike and I ended up

staying home all by ourselves because all of my aids evacuated to Texas.

It was a bit exhausting but we survived.

Happy to report that all is well here in New Orleans and Gretna, Kenner

etc. Just had a few wind gusts causing broken branches but we didn't

even lose power (and we had the generator all fired up and ready to go).

New Orleans was truly lucky!

Thank you for all your good wishes and prayers! We are tired and

anxious for my aids to come back, but happy to be alive. Mike is out

checking the homes of all his customers who evacuated. Again, my thanks

to everyone who called and offered help. We love all of you.

Love,

We have a generator. I hope that our local hospital can transfer us inland. We

are in the midst of that arraingment.

Nick,

Damn boy, how many hurricanes have you been through? Glad to hear that

everything is fairly okay. It sounds like you went through one hell of an

experience. Hopefully, you'll get power back soon.

Well I'm surviving Hurricane Ivan after a near direct-hit here in

Mobile, Alabama.

*whole post revamped to remove strings of obscenities*

Hurricane Ivan is notably unfun.

Wednesday, power went down, fried my cable modem and my respirator.

Time for the back-up.

Then we cranked the generator.

About 5 hours later, flaaaaa, the generator sputtered and died.

It's bad - we STILL, right now, don't have power and just got back on a

generator since ours died Wednesday. But we are fortunate, no damage to

our house, where we rode it out (we learned from the previous zillion

hurricanes that going to a hospital where you can't sleep makes it harder).

Category 4 hurricanes don't play around. We are lucky we live inland in

the city of Mobile and behind the hill (Spring Hill) and are protected

from most of the damage. Ivan turned east at the last minute, which

saved Mobile, Biloxi and New Orleans from most of the devestation but

Gulf Shores and Orange Beach on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, where

it made landfall, got wiped out. Much of those coastal areas either

simply do not exist anymore, or look like ground zero, with countless

formerly towering condos torn in half or nothing but chunks of rubble,

shredded by the winds and storm surge. Thankfully the coastal people

fled. Pensacola got hit bad. The I-10 bridge to Pensacola doesn't even

exist now.

We're really lucky it turned east.

Also, we're fortunate this hurricane didn't flood us significantly at

all, nor did I hear a single thunderbolt (odd). Other hurricanes were

far worse rain-wise. Hurricane Danny (category 1) flooded Mobile the

worst because it decided to park it on Mobile Bay for a week, and sucked

the water out of Mobile Bay (fish were flapping around without water it

was one of the weirdiest things I've ever seen) and slung the water ON

OUR HOUSE. Hurricane s which came into Mobile Bay (category 2-3)

also flooded us. Yeah I'm a hurricane veteran, but it's not something I

recommend you try.

Ivan wasn't a big rainmaker for us, but packed a hellacious punch

wind-wise, reminded me of Hurricane Opal (category 2) but WAY worse.

We're very lucky, we had an oak tree uprooted in our yard and yeah, our

driveway is somewhat FUBAR from fallen limbs and leaves, but no damage

to our house...which is as I expected. Also as expected, our big

problem is the power.... Scary! We had to run our respirators off our

van battery for 2 days (you can do this, a full tank of gas keeping the

alternator charging that battery and you can run a vent for a week

non-stop). You guys can imagine how terrifying it is scrambling to get

power before your respirator stops breathing. We've been through hell

without power. And all this time without my humidifier or oxygen has

been trying on the lungs, though I'm fine.

Fortunately, all is well now that we've got a new generator. There was

a huge outpouring of support today. People remembered me from the work

I've done to help people get health care, and today donated 4

generators, gasoline and some fans. That's how I'm on the computer

now. I'm so extremely grateful for the support and kindness people can

show, and it heartens me to see good works can pay off later. I'm so

lucky and sooooo thankful.

I just wanted to drop you guys a note to let you know we're surviving.

I've got my computer, ventilator, a fan and one lamp on the generator.

HOPEFULLY our power will be back on soon. So many trees are down on

power lines, it's understandable why it's taking so long (though most

streets around us have power *grumble*).

Best to you all, and don't worry , a mere Tropical Storm shouldn't

cause you much problem at all.
