We're Here!!!!!

Hey everyone sorry it's been so long, but we had an awful experience on the way down here. We were on the road 20 hours our transmission fluid ran out and we had a front tire blow out going 85 mph down a highway. Yeah I saw my life flash in front of my eyes. Anyway, I am in Baton Rouge running 911 calls. We are still waiting to see if we will be doing search and rescue in the hard hit areas. We are for the moment safe and sound. No pics yet sorry. I'll check in when I can!
