I wake up this morning wanting a nice cup of coffee ( bare with me here it's been a long day ), I had 4 days off and had plans of diving Alexander springs and setting a date for my first liveaboard (Blackbeards). Yesterday I signed and paid for my passport at the public records office and this morning was going to be a fun filled day. At first light we got a call from my brother, his home had been hit by a tornado. I got into my truck and proceeded to his house which has a long driveway and spent a while chainsawing a path to his home. Everyone was alright, we cut the trees down that were on power lines and I ran into town to pick up the fittings to repair the broken well lines. On the way back I'm getting ready to turn into his drive and thats the last I remember for a while. I woke to a sherriffs deputy and a medic asking me the basic what planet are you on questions. It took me a while but I managed to come around when the guy started to put a C-collar on me and said the chopper will be here shortly I woke up, last night I was reading the liveaboard & insurance threads. The insurance threads discussed the expense of chopper rides, honest to the Lord up above I thought of the SB discussions and sat up straight (as best I could). Stop !! I wasn't bleeding or hurting accept my head. They tried to baker act me because I was out for a while and had a lump on the side of my head, but the physician consolt over there radio said If I was A & O x 4 the unit needed to move along and help with the tornados. Headache and all when I got home I went directly to the dive insurance sites to choose one for my dive vacation, I chose divesafe because of it's simplicity, I called divesafe and they said, "sorry", we don't insure PADI divers. I'm OK, sympathy is not needed, just a long way around to tell the insurance story.
