Chris B. talked to our son and Brown's in Iowa this am. briefly. Had found somewhere with a generator to charge his phone battery. He is to call back this afternoon after accessing things further and has phone charged up. Elma's and Mike Smith's houses severely damaged. Luepke, Brown's basically ok. Lupke boat out front ok. Our boat house in back gone--Brown's under roof somewhere and ours upside down in Chris'yard. Mike Sherman, have you heard anything on your house yet? Chris didn't mention it when talking to Brown's, so we hope no news, is good news in this case. Will be sure and ask when we talk to him. In e-mail from other friends--Paul Steven's daughter had relayed that their house and Sweet Basil had weathered with minimal damage. Had generator running. Their boat out front ok, one at boat yard in town was on runway. Rum Punch boat in their front yard. Streets on backside of town basically gone. Sounds like will be quite sometime before had elec. and if planning to go down will need to camp out. We are anxiously waiting to have a good conversation with Chris, so can ask all the many questions. Will keep you all posted.
