Ever seen 'The Drowning Pool'? There's a scene where Paul Newman and an actress (can't recall her name) have flooded a room and they open the doors and water rushes everywhere. Well, the office where I start work every day had a minor scene like that today. Some folks from Marshall County (Holly Springs) drove by saw the water seeping out and contacted the local police. Our police chief, Steve Brooks, came to my house and told me about it. I rushed up there and shut the water main off and then opened the doors. A minor deluge at both front and back doors. Immediately I called people and got an overwhelming response. After making sure the water wasn't covering the server and phone switch I started sweeping. Our office manager, Gayle, quickly called the building owner and folks started showing up. Judd, the owner of the building, contacted a recovery expert and he responded immediately. Within a few hours what might have been a major major disaster was brought under control. Tomorrow we can find out the extent of damage, but we will be open for business. Steve, the recovery expert, had awesome equipment and quelled the massive water seepage. Big Yank Chris, one our techs, helped move stuff as did Butch and Gayle. So great to see such a quick response and people working together to overcome this crisis. Gayle, Butch (Gayle's husband), Big Yank Chris, Steve, Judd and Chief Brooks THANK YOU!!
Our owner is out of town with his father recovering from heart surgery. At times like this I am so proud to be a Mississippian and a resident of the Town of Saltillo. Thank you Marshall County people in the blue truck, whomever you are....
Thanks to Butch for working on my a/c unit on top of all this! The Saltillo Beach House is its refrigerator self again!
Let's remember BT in our prayers. Here's hoping his hospital stay will be a very successful one.
