And we are so glad you are back and safe. The forum just wouldn't be the same without you.

I can guarantee you that if you move to Nebraska, you will never have to worry about a hurricane! But you would have to put up with the lights out occasionally!

Back on line today. Lost power for 31/2 days account a wench named Isabel. I love the sound of a long freight train roaring by at track speed, but not when it's roaring by at the treetops. Here in the Mid-Atlantic, nearly half of the local power company's customers were out of action the day after the storm hit. Four days after the storm, still 1/3rd of customers out. There was high water in parts of Baltimore where I've never seen it. The storm surge arrived with high tide...6 feet above normal! A nasty business. They had linesmen in here from Canada, Maine, Ohio, Kentucky, Florida and I don't know how many other places. Two were killed; one from Georgia, and one from Mississippi. Lord Bless all of 'em. Someone from NC or Virginia can speak to their own situations.
