My 1970 Standard Beetle Diary

Disaster!

If you've watched the national news, you may have heard that Oklahoma got hit by a terrible ice storm. When the ice on my shop started to melt, it flooded about a fourth of the inside. My Beetle was not in the flooded area. The shop is a mess, but only that.

It's nothing compared to what some of the people just south of me have suffered. The people in Muskogee, McAlester and surrounding areas are still without power and some parts don't have running water. It truly is a disaster for those poor folks down there. Homes are damaged due to falling trees and flooding of burst pipes.

There are disaster relief teams working in the area and if you would like to support them, you can donate to Southern Baptist Disaster Relief by clicking here:



Also, Bank of Oklahoma and the News on 6 partnered together to accept donations for disaster relief...if you're in Oklahoma, click here for more information:



I look forward to getting the shop cleaned up and dried out so we can get back to work on our Beetle! I'll post some pictures of the mess in my shop when I can.
