Yeah they are, the news is saying that about 78 million people are directly affected by this storm... that is a HUGE storm. I headed up a crew after Katrina, to travel to and volunteer in LA after the hurricane, a crew to haiti after the earthquake, and while i didnt go, was involved with a crew to japan after the tsunami. and other natural disataters and I truly feel for the people around the affected areas and those who lose everything, or their families. 69 people killed in the carribbean, none here so far, pray it stays that way.

Thanks for the welcome. I am a serial stalker on this site, and even though everyone here seem like real stand up guys and very welcoming, I don t have much to say.

I have gotten lots of ideas and help from your re-build thread and from others. I am just starting a transom, custom bracket, and re power on a '80 fisherman and all the project creep that goes along with it, but I am a a real rookie with boats and boat repairs.

This site has been awesome, and a great help. thank you for sharing your rebuild.
