Who is ready

Just got off a conference meeting over the phone . I don't want to post what some of the strategy is on this open public forum . What I can tell you is my flight out west has been postponed till the first of the week . Now would be the time for some of you to start your get the message out type stuff we have discussed on this forum . If anyone is interested in what some of that strategy is I will discuss it through e mails or phone .>>>

What are the headlines going to look like next week ?????????? http://www.weather.com/weather/map/interactive/?zoom=4&lat=13&long=-30&interactiveMapLayer=sat&baseMap=h&animation=true&from=TIWMay be time to start making some plans .>>>

Im ready, im ready im always ready! :woohoo: :laugh: ready for what?>>>

You think thats going to form into something? :blink:>>>

Hey Robert If you are not on the East Coast this year . It won't have much of an effect on you . The reason I posted this was to alert some of these guys on East Coast to ready them selves . If this doesn't turn into a major storm , one of them will . Ed and I and a few others were discussing how to handle the outside contractors coming in and taking the local guys business . Roofing isn't my bread and butter . It was once upon a time . If I were into it full time I would have put together some PSA announcements and some radio spots,etc. . Use these before the storm and during and after . Just trying to prepare if you know what I mean . My flight out to California was cancelled till Mon or Tues at this point . It was because of strategy planning for another potential event. That can and will change if the situation in California gets worse .>>>

We get the storm not you guys on the east,i feel it in my bones! :woohoo: :laugh:>>>

All I get is a blank weather screen :silly:>>>

The point I really wanted to make here , If you are ready before a storm and can target your marketing is this something you would or should be doing ?? Most everyone on here complains the stormers come in and destroy the local market . This and another thread is to help stem the flow of work to the stormers if possible . To stop the locals from being the Nachos of the industry . Obviously it just doesn't relate to Hurricanes . Robert if it rolled up through your area would this make sense . I'm predicting Eastern Cane this year . Based on what I 've read and discussed .>>>

Well annas coming to the gulf on its track right now,but its five days out.I get swamped when we get hit by a hurricane,i have a lot of advertising out from new orleans to baton rouge and lafayette back down 90 to houma and beyond>>>

Still hate the stormers though just because most are no more then thieves.>>>

After gustav 23 companys set up in morgan city,when the state checked them for workmens comp none could prove they had it.But the state waited till the volume was done to do it,most ran away when they started get inquiries into thier so called business"s.>>>

Morgan City. B) :cheer: I had one of the Satellite buses in the Wal Mart parking lot just outside Morgan City . My son worked Claims in Morgan City during Katrina . My sons fiancee is from Lafayette . They were always laughing about Thibaut's and Beauteous. I didn't understand what they were laughing about till after that event . :laugh: :laugh: Now it a joke and hilarious. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: B) B)>>>

Boudreaux and Thibodeaux!Get it right, you come here to make fun of cajuns?Easy going people really, friendly people they are.I live 30 miles west of Morgan City on hwy 90 but was real busy in houma at that time.>>>

So you understand also . I didn't go there to make fun of anyone . It was a joke I didn't understand till after I left . Don't be so defensive . I get it now . Maybe there is something about people from Lafayette and the Boudreaux and the Thibodeaux's ? Hell I can hardly pronounce it let alone spell it . If it's not in spell checker I get lost real quick . I didn't make it up . " i dunno " Not much sense in trying to explain it . If you have to explain a joke it isn't funny anymore :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: B) B)>>>

CIAK-- What do you mean by that? Explain a joke? Is it funny?>>>

Boudreaux and thibodeaux jokes are like a way of life here,but p-twilly lives in infamy!>>>
