hello my brothers and sisters!!!,
i hate to inform you all that the national news about the storm that hit western ny on the 12th...hit me and my family in the heart! i unfortunately was hit the hardest...my house/property..everything i owned was destroyed!!!
we still dont have power..im at my inlaws that live 20miles away..they werent touched!! the lake effect storm blanketed us with 2 feet of slush!
not snow...slush..i watched my neighborhood be destroyed in 8 hrs!the only thing left i still have is my car/truck....power transformers give off the most beautiful colors!!specially when the blowup!

i lost almost everything i own..including my plants/seed collection!!
i was 3 days from harvesting my williams wonders...there gone!!!
its hard for me to tell this...im very sorry...please prayers/chants for me and my family and all the folks hit by this disaster!

to make matters worse..i have pneumonia ...i tryed to save my stuff to no evail...we are waiting for fema/my homeowners to kick in...but, that could be months...lol...also my job...were i worked for 26 years...gone!!!
no job..no house...no money..no seeds...nothing!

we might be able to salvage some things..after the storm..the temps climbed...making matters worse.....flooding!!!!! my house is flooded to the 2nd level..i have a 3 story house with built in pool/jacuzzi.....lol my neighbors trees are loving it!!!

total devastation!!my wife/kids are ok.....im realizing that life is grand aint it!!!

Praying for you and your family brother sparo....i'm so sorry.I myself went through Hurricane Andrew in Homestead and lost everything as well..it was a hard thing to swallow and deal with but you have no choice but to press on.......you know where to look when you do start again...everything can be replaced or fixed....family is all that matters...rest easy my friend as we need you around to fight the good fight...stay safe..

Sparo:

On top of everything else, you sure didn't need this!

Let me know if I can help out.

If your seeds didn't get soaked, they should be fine - simple freezing won't harm them.

Wow Sparo, This is absolutely awful, I am really sorry I to hear about this.

The main thing is that you must look after yourself and get well. You dont want your pneumonia to get worse and complicated, Please just look after yourself.!!!
Especially that you are after that opperation you had last month.
