Midwestern Teeners--

Hope you all are safe and dry. I understand that along with Nothern Ohio a great many areas in the Midwest including Minnesota and Wisconsin were hit hard by recent storms and floods. I hope all of you, your family and your friends are safe. I was reaching out to the community to find out if anyoine knew if Tab Tanner's business in Fidlay, Ohio (Autobahn Garage) was hit by the recent floods.

I sure hope his business and his home are safe as he is in Germany through the 27th and may not know the extent of the situation in Findlay.

I'm also praying for a little sick 914-6 of mine that is in his shop. This is the new 6 I bought from Dave Olson in Ouray, CO in March. On the way to Porsches2Oxford my son and I hit some heavy rain and spun the car. We think we may have overrevved the car in the process.

After Tab heard the car at the show he asked that I leave in Oxford until he could run back down from Findlay with his trailer to pick up the car. Our initial analysis before he headed off to Germany last week was I may need a complete engine rebuild after throwing a rod bearing arm.

I talked with Tab last week before he left and we agreed to dive in a little deeper into the actual extent of the damage once he returned on the 27th. Two days after Tab left the rain began to fall and after reciving nearly 10 inches in an hour the town of Findlay and a great many communities in Northern Ohio) found itself under several feet of water. The area has been designated a disaster area by FEMA and they expect the clean up to take weeks if not months. This seems like a small amount of time when you think about the devastation in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast from Katrina.

If the new 6 is swimming now I guess the insurance policy will kick in. My bigger concern is if Tab's home, business and family are OK and safe. Please let me know what you know out there and how I and other Teener members can help.

Thanks--John
