Yeah, that was what I was thinking about.   Imagine years of building a business up and have gone in an instant.

>I talked to Nolan this morning.  He is well but has no power.  A major line

>and is able to run the small airconditioner at night during this hot weather.  
>He said they drove about 100 miles to Lafayette to get some gas.  The local

>shipments coming so when they empty their tanks that will be it for a while.  

>Nolan said they had some downed trees but no flooding.  The future of piano 
>service business doesn't look good when people don't have homes to put 
>the pianos in. He didn't know about other LA techs except for Dave 
>Doremus who had gone to Florida.  He said he couldn't make contact again 
>because Dave had a New Orleans cell phone and the whole area code 
>seems to not work. 

>Nolan and family are in better shape than many and have food and water.  
>He commented on how bright the stars were when there are no lights.
