DIRECT PHONE REPORT FROM SOUTH GEORGIA

The aftermath of last weeks hurricane was just reported to me by phone. Jerry Maurice Barfield and I spoke for 47 minutes about the wrath of  Mother Nature. Unbelievable
!




 "I bought 2 generators today and one for my pastor exclaimed my auctioneer brother from South Georgia. People's barns were leveled. The sound of the hurricane-force winds was eerie, Bob. Going without electricity was awful.

"Cotton looks like snow soaked and flattened. My pecan crop lies on the ground." One pecan tree was uprooted by the hurricane force winds.

Barfield was amazed I was oblivious to the wrath.
