Hey Kathy,
Tell him to be safe out there. I know these storms cause a lot of havok and keeps everyone out there working longer than normal. Tell him to keep his head and his hands in the same place![smilie_daumenpos[1].gif](http://www.line-man.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/smilie_daumenpos[1].gif)
They will be in my thoughts and prayers
Keep us updated on his progress![ernaehrung004[1].gif](http://www.line-man.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/ernaehrung004[1].gif)

Just talked to 639. They are in Marion, Ark for the night. Then heading to Hayti, Mo, where there are some 80 poles downs. Their caravan has 3-4 buckets and 3 diggers. He's hoping all of the poles will be on the side of the road ........Ha Ha...................

They will driving back each night to Blytheville, Ark, not sure where they will be staying at night.
Will be working for Ameren, the old Ark-Mo company.
Said their logistics person will be heading to Marmaduke, one of the hardest hit areas, to look it over.
That's all they know for now. Will keep you all posted as he checks in..............everyone stay safe...

Just got off the phone with 639....he only had a second, so the conversation was short.
They are working in Carruthersville, which is a short piece from Hayti, Mo..................he said it was bad, really bad.......almost as bad as the damage from the tornado that hit Arkadelphia, Ark several years ago. He said it looks like a chopper flew upside down and the rotors cut off the tops of all the trees
He said he would call me later when they finished up for the day and they were heading back to the motel.
So I'll know more later.
Keep them in your prayers

Just got off the phone with ol' Billy Boy and it's everything as you said. He also wanted to add that they are not bothering with grounding anything at this time because there just isn't anything to ground to! They are basically starting off with new construction at this point. He also mentioned Three and some quirky messages that Three has been sending him. He said not to go turning off your cell phone so that you don't have to hear his replies!

Yeah, said they were just taking bulldozers and clearing paths for them, nothing left........it must really be bad. I heard there were something like 36 tornados Sunday, 27 people killed. How awful. Our prayers are with everyone.
Yep....639 has read me a lot of the text messages from Three.......I'm beginning to wonder about the boy myself.......as 639 would say "HE AIN'T RIGHT"

Hey ya'll,
I have been up to Marmaduke, AR. and Caruthersville, MO. over the last 3 days. It's every bit as bad as a hurricane, just smaller areas. I'll get some pictures up in a day or so.
It is so strange to be driving along and seeing no damage and then right across an intersection is debris piled up and huge trees uprooted. In Marmaduke there is a trainyard that was in the direct path of the tornado and there are about 20 traincars knocked off the tracks sideways. The wheels were still on the tracks.
The town of Marmaduke took a direct hit and 80% of it was laid low. Caruthersville is about 40% destroyed. That's an estimate from my untrained eye anyway.
I've run into TRBL a couple of times and sold him a hammer. He's always needing something.
Pray for the victims and the restoration workers if you would. They need it.

Uh, I think he threw his hammer at somebody and lost it......maybe at a grunt?
You're probably right Tex..............

Just got the call. They have been released and will be heading home in the morning. With any luck, he will be here tomorrow after lunch sometime. It all depends though.....they are having storms in and around El Dorado and Camden. He's hoping that if there is any damage, it will all be fixed by the time they get home so he doesn't have to work his own storm restoration

I wish it was Fred, really.........I do!
I was wondering about 639 today when I saw a few clips of Tennessee on Fox News at lunch today. It was showing how they got hit hard again. Glad to hear that he is coming back.

Yeah, saw that too. I'm glad I wasn't up in that area this week
....I talked to our Dyersburg, TN office several times this week. They have been very busy trying to locate patients. They serviced the Caruthersville area. Now I see where there were tornados around Hendersonville, TN, right outside of Nashville......that's another one of my service centers. Pray for all of those affected, but most of all, pray for the emergency personnel and the crews out working this mess
