Here's the deal. The entire thread was hidden by another moderator. That moderator wanted the opinions of the other moderators on whether the pictures were appropriate or not. I contacted @Chad, he requested I hide the pictures in question until such time as he can review them later today. He will make the final judgment call on the pictures. Christy

Awesome pics! So glad you guys got to visit Jim and the Museum. As always, thank you for your continued support for the Museum.

CCC is unhidden...questionable pictures have been hidden for Chad's review. Just for the record, I did not hide these threads. Christy

Latest track guidance. Shifted slightly more west.

Latest forecast discussion on Hurricane Irma from the National Hurricane Center. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCDAT1+shtml/030849.shtml

@jimjimbo one of the ways Klipsch Group, Inc. supports the Klipsch Heritage Museum Association is to donate products to the Museum that we can offer for sale exclusively to our members at a considerable savings. Steve And Pappy each purchased one of the combo packages we offered. We will soon be offering several other levels of membership We anticipate this reward alone will encourage others to join.

This is one of the major issues relief help, workers and citizens of this area encountered after Katina. The north and south shores of Lake Pontchatrain were cut off, except for one route. That route was flooded for over four weeks, as were the communities they connected. That being said, once the foooding began receding work actively begun on repairs to at least one of the bridges almost immediately. If we don't know history we will surely repeat it. In cases of natural disasters there are always lessons to be learned. A few questions everyone should ask themselvesc is "Can we mitigate our losses during this event. Should we evacuate? We have a back up plan?", not necessarily in that order. That should just be the beginning of the process for most individuals, especially in areas prone to certain tropes of natural disasters. There are differences between the damage impacts on communities of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Katrina, but there is also a lot of commonality. I'm hopeful that some of lessons we learned before, during and after Hurricane Katrina were implemented by our community leaders when Hurricane Harvey was first expected to impact a major metropolitan area.

Just saw update on Invest93L...another one to watch.

@dwilawyer is it an emergency that you have to travel into that? It just seems crazy to even attempt a trip into that area.

Never was the "designer" type!

Don't even think about it!!!!

Carl, I'm so sorry to see this. It looks like more rain headed your way.

@JRH

I can ask our historian to take a look at your post.

@Jeff Matthews just know all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. I don't think anyone can understand the feelings unless they've experienced them firsthand. I'm thankful everyday that we evacuated for Katrina, but the news reports and first hand observations upon our return home the next day are enough to last me a lifetime. While watching the reports and reading posts like this my heart just breaks. It's difficult to keep my emotions in check.

How are y'all doing!

@Jeff Matthews how are you doing over there?

Awesome write up on the event! By the way, there's s local guy in Hope that gives away a couple of thousand dollars every year during the Watermelon Festival. It's done as a scavenger hunt with a lot of the locals participating. Clues are given at regular intervals until the money is found. Christy!

"Gophers" are always welcome. Helps with the entire workload. No skill set required...just a willingness to help.

Yes. We will be scheduling another work weekend during the fall. Always lots to do at the museum. Would you be interested in attending?

Nice vehicle @tigerwoodKhorns So I have to tell y'all. One of our vehicles is a 2006 a Saturn Vue with 306,000 miles on it. Seats 5. I will drive it to the wheels fall off. 30 MPG on the highway fully loaded with our "stuff" and everybody else's "stuff", when we travel. We had the rear seats down and "stuff" stacked up to the roof when we travelled to Hope, AR for the Pilgrimage. It gets about 26 MPG running errands around town. Original motor.

Hope all is well @silversport!!!

The Klipsch Museum of Audio History had a pair of Forte IIIs for sale which we are combining with a Khorn Klub membership. All proceeds go to the museum. PM me if interested!!!

@USNRET our thoughts are with you! Keep us updated as you can!
