CM, it is too soon to know yet. CP30 might know, but he is off and on because of the hurricanes. CP30 is from Mississippi and can find out when he can be contacted. I have contatcted others, and we will know soon enough. Posting will be done on this forum, perhaps under the present thread if you don't mind, CM. Mike Howlett is our guy in Texas, so he will post too.
There is only one thing that will stop development, money. When there is no longer money to be made development will stop. Until then, nature is on the chopping block.
Most pitchers have finished by now, and leucophylla pitchers should be capable of bending. Some will be ruined, but that's life.
More importantly, all that rain is good news. In the early 2000's a lot of areas were suffering from drought. Sarras love water and can happily survive for weeks completely submerged.
Things are still quite choatic here in the gulf coast areas hit by Katrina and Rita.
Good news: 1) Sarrs and other cps that are indigenous to the area are, of course, used to weather like this and are far better equipped to survive intact than humans and our communities
2) most development is currently focused on rebuilding as opposed to expansion
Not so good news: devasted communities are having to build in areas they have not before. I imagine that many or the For Sale signs that Barry saw from Gulfport to Moss point are disappearing as people find new places to relocate their destoyed homes and lives.
I have not had time to drive over to see. It will be harder now to find the stands, and I only know of a few to look for.
If you need any assistance Give me a shout. I'm back in the game. Life was pretty hectic there for awhile, but I thinks it's about as under control as ever.
