Message from Rick Moyer - please read

I received an email via a text message from Rick Moyer. It seems there are some bad storms out his way. Please read:

Hi Rico

I'm writing from cell phone.
We are having a horrible wind storm. 33,000 people are without power. A huge chunk of our roof blew off and we have several bad leaks with water pouring into the house. Yikes!

Anyway we lost power and may not have it back for days. We are expecting floods and more wind the rest of the day. We had gusts of up toward 90 mph.

If you would could you post this for everyone? It's pretty scary right now and we could use everybody's good thoughts and prayers.

We are ok right now, but our house is damaged and it shows no sign of letting up.

I can get email on my phone.

Love,
Rick M

Of course I told him we would be keeping his whole family in our thoughts. I'm not sure how well he can get email via his phone but feel free to send him a message if you want.

Oh my!!! Yes, please tell him I'll pray for them. I hope they have a safe place to stay in the mean time. :( In cases like this, living 1000's of miles apart really bites—I'd offer my house if we were close enough to make a difference.

Wow.. I hope they are okay.. I just sent him an email. Maybe we should try and set up some sort of "Fix Rick's House" fund. Sounds like there was some major damaged and it's not even over yet. The Treks in Sci fi Family needs to stick together.

Jen · December 03, 2007, 08:06:07 AM

I agree Kenny...

Thanks for letting us know Rico, I hope the Moyers come through all right. Houses can be fixed, harder to fix people. Stay safe!

Rico · December 03, 2007, 08:10:26 AM

I agree. Maybe some kind of care package or something. Let's toss around some ideas and see what others think.

That is bad news, hopefully Rick and his family pulls through with just the damage to their home. My prayers and thoughts are with him and his family. I will contribute to the fund if it is planned. Just a terrible thing to happen at this time of year.

billybob476 · December 03, 2007, 08:27:26 AM

Same here on the fund, however most likely the Moyer home is properly insured.

jedijeff · December 03, 2007, 08:47:04 AM

Yes, hopefully Rick has a good home insurance policy, and was able to move some of his families treasures to a place safe.

Yeah I'm sure he has insurance for the house..when I suggested the fund it wasn't to repair the house, but for anything else they lost or if they needed to rent a hotel or something. I'll wait to hear more about what there situation is like.

Well his family is safe.. and those are the most valuable family treasures.

Maybe just some type of gift basket of food or something to nibble on at the hotel they must be staying at. Let me see first if I can find out more info from Rick.

jedijeff · December 03, 2007, 09:42:51 AM

Whatever you guys decide, I am in full support.

X · December 03, 2007, 10:21:54 AM

Wow. His family is now in our thoughts. I had no idea that there was a storm that bad out there. I've heard nothing on the new here.

KingIsaacLinksr · December 03, 2007, 11:18:47 AM

I emailed him as soon as I saw this. I'll try and support in anyway I can.
