Arrow NEWS - Kevin Recovers!

Kevin Kearney underwent a violent lofting during a squall from Tropical Storm Fay early the evening of August 18, 2008. Images from this startling accident were captured by a TV news cameraman as Kevin was repeatedly lofted and flew overhead as rain pounded down. The rain spattered clip was carried by news services and websites worldwide. Many wondered how anyone could survive such a high speed flight into a hard landscape. Amazingly, Kevin has regained consciousness and is responding after just three days in hospital and has been transfered from the Intensive Care Unit. We hope this very rapid healing continues leading to his full recovery.

Best wishes to Kevin, his family and friends!

Moving along, keep sending messages with well wishes away, as I am going to forward them to Kevin once he recovers a bit more.

Finally, we are setting up a website for fund donations for Kevin Kearney, Stay posted for the website details / how you can contribute to help with his hospital bills.
