I\'m Janet Beeching, Aunt of Thomas Henegar. We had problems with Rita when she roared through South Florida. I live in Homestead, Florida, exactly where Hurricane Andrew hit. 22 inces of rain fell on us, and Rita was just a tropical storm. We went to sleep with the flood water creeping up the front lawn toward the ramp of our front door. In the morning, the water was literally at the door sill, but did not actually get into the house. The neighborhood looked like a lake with houses rising out of it. It lasted several days before it drained away. That\'s my story. I was so pleased to hear Thomas Henegar\'s voice, we havne\'t spoken for several years, since he was a little guy, and he called me his favorite aunt. If you might be able to tell him to email me at jbeeching@dadeschools.net, I\'d love to hear from him again. I understand he just completed service in Iraq. Thank you
