It's Time... Katrina Time!

I must make this short for obvious reasons. I woke up about 45-minutes ago (5:00 am), fortunately I was able to get 5-hours of much needed sleep. The sun is set to rise in about 15-20 minutes, but we won't get to see too much of it today. As I type, it is really beginning to get nasty outside as Katrina is making landfall in Southern Louisiana, about 120-miles west of us.

It is now a category-4 storm, with 160-mph winds. Our power is blinking on and off, and I don't think we will be having that pleasure for very much longer. With all of our windows covered with plywood, you can hear the winds blowing outside, and believe me I've been though this many times in my life, but there's always a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach. We are under tornado warnings, the rain is pouring down, and it looks like this will go on until very late tonight.

We're safe for now. Thanks for the prayers, but please don't stop now... there's a bunch of folks out there that will need them as the day progresses. There are links to two local television stations on yesterday's BLOG entry, that are having streaming coverage of the storm from our area 24/7. You can check them out if you care to do so. Take care my friends.

God BlessOur Gulf Coast!

Katrina knocking on our door...

Hello my friends. For obvious reasons this will be a short BLOG entry today. You can feel the tension in the air as Hurricane Katrina packing 175-mph winds prepares to hit our Gulf Coast. I've been working all day making the necessary preparations around the house. We are almost finished as the first bands of rain are darkening our skies. I don't have any idea what the future may hold in store for us. All I can say is that I appreciate the many kind emails from many of you concerning my family and the storm. I ask that you continue to remember all of us in Katrina's path in your prayers. I think we definitely are going to need them. This one really scares me.

Needless to say, the Mobile Airport to closing and I will not be able to make it to Philadelphia tomorrow to tape my "shoot" interviews with Ring Of Honor. I'm certain that we will have a make-up date not too far in the future, we will keep you updated.

For those of you that would really like to see what we are going through down here, two of our local television stations are providing streaming coverage of the hurricane on their websites at: http://www.wpmi.com/ and http://www.wkrg.com

Thanks my friends, we will be back here as soon as I am able to do so.
God Bless,

Katrina... and more.

We may have been blessed again with Katrina, as she continues to move westward in The Gulf Of Mexico. That is certainly not good news for our friends in The New Orleans area. We continue to ask that you join us in uplifting our prayers asking for the safety of all of those in the path of this dangerous storm.

If the weather allows me to get out on Monday morning, I am still scheduled to do my first "shoot" interviews in Philadelphia. I will do my first with Jim Cornette, and the second will be solo. The picture of Jim and I above was taken in the old Smokey Mountain Wrestling days, when The Undertaker faced "Unabomb" who eventually became Kane, for the first time. Jim signed it for me saying... "To Paul Bearer - From Your Next Client, Jim Cornette." I am really excited about doing this interview with my long time friend, and fellow manager.

The event tonight in the Florida panhandle town of Chipley will go on as scheduled. Belltime is at 8:00 pm, and we will see all of my friends and supporters in the area there!

Have a great Saturday morning, and weekend as well.
God Bless.
