It couldn't have been too bad, since Alexandria was a staging area for emergency crews planning on heading further south. Butch is prolly 75-100 miles from the coast.

I dig hammocks.
lotsa wind I believe, I was watching CNN here and there and they were in a town (Alexandria ) not far from his, floodwise I dont think they have any probs, just wind. likely cable, phone and power out for a few days at the least.
I just saw a small article, apparently water is in short supply with wells being 'knocked out'

When Butch gets back home he'll probably be so tired that he wont feel like getting on line. Least till he rests first Sure to be some hair raising stories come of it.

Everyone on the east coast needs to mind Hanna. Stormchasers that is. South Carolina has not had a Bad hurricane/tropical storm in years. I am Leaning towards lots of damage even with strong tropical storm.
Plus you will not spend thousands in fuel to get there.

I just now talked to Butch,
He's chilling with no power or internet.
Says it's all good. Safe as Hell.

I think you meant to say ' go down there to make money.'
I think Rick is talking utility bucket trucks. I know a ton of them left New England yesterday, heading for the south. I imagine they will be raking in the overtime nonetheless.

Yah, outta town is for young fellers with no family. I wouldn't do it now, unless I had to. Up here you don't chase storms but if ya want to work the bush and make money ya gotta go to camp. Same sorta difference, dude I know just left his family for a 8 month stint.
Hell someone needs to send one of those bucket trucks to Butch's place and hook him up!
