After being in the establishment patiently waiting too see who made it out. After a few hours I went outside. It was very unusual not to hear anything but fighter jets scrambling across the sky at high speeds. Only to see my then 90 red ZR1 covered with a white powder. WTH ? Rubbed my finger on it and knew exactly what it was , asbestos. Called my wife and had her close the windows in the house and turn the A/C on. She said "I know how you feel but it's a beautiful night tonight. The windows are open". I then told her that there was asbestos in the air and to close the windows and turn the A/C on.

I can tell you stories for hours about what went on during that nightmare. But as you see......writing isn't exactly one of my strong points. And I apologize for the rant.

NEVER FORGET
No need for apologizing.
