Dive Sports Storm Damage Impact

[PhilEllis]

The widespread Wednesday storm damage in North Alabama is impacting every business and individual in the northern half of Alabama. The damage is widespread and the loss of life is simply stunning.

While Dive Sports did not suffer any direct damage from the storms, it is clear to us that the impact will present us with problems for a while yet. We have no utilities services, no internet service, no telephone service, and are completely unable to do any of the things necessary to conduct business. Our most accurate information leads us to belive that we will not be able to open until at least Tuesday May 3, 2011. Brad and Jonathan have evacuated to Birmingham, Alabama to await return of services in North Alabama. I am at my home in Florence and have no capability to get to Decatur at this time.

Please bear with us on this issue. We are sorry we are unable to process online orders and are unable to handle the needs of our local divers. I will update this thread with any additional information I have. Without easy access to internet service, I will attempt to use my cell phone to update. Even that is extremely unreliable.

Thank you for your support.

Don't know how, but if there's any way I can help you know the number and email.

Some limited power is being restored to Decatur. But I don't think we will be able to open until after the weekend.
