Text Box: turned around and was back where I started from 11 hours earlier, after driving only 15 minutes! Called it a night and stayed in Houston. Next morning it’s off to Corisicana for 1 night. Taking back roads no real problems despite several hundred abandon cars on the road. By leaving early I was back on the first ferry to Bolivar. Shocked by the lack of major damage, I called as many as I could to advise of the damages to their home. We got real lucky!

Text Box: I had promised to dedicate much of this issue to the stories of the Kona Kai owners. We all have our own story and it appears that we’re just going to have to tell our own stories. I failed to receive any response to my request for your story, so you’re stuck with mine. It’s been almost six months since the mass evacuation in advance of Rita. I felt lucky to be one of the many that lost more as a result of fleeing the storm than directly from the storm.

Text Box: Normally easements are in the best interest of the community, normally. What the SUD now requires for any new service is an easement. Problem is that it is defined only as 15’ wide, and located wherever they ultimately decide to put the utilities, now or in the future. That is, not a place certain.
