Boy, glad I don't live in natural disaster country
anymore. I'd still take an earthquake once every hundred
years, good thing I don't live in earthquake country either.

I don't live in natural disaster country either, but last night we had our
first tornado warning in my memory. I haven't seen a storm like that in a
*looooong* time. The whole sky was lit up almost continuously with
lightning and there was a torrential downpour.

A lot of folks lost power; it wasn't pretty. I shut down the pc and pulled
the phone line from the dsl modem. Lost the satellite TV a few times as
well (and there is a new 3 head dish up there with signal strengths 50%
higher than when the system was first installed, but still lost the signal).

It is overcast now and hasn't rained in over 12 hours. Still quite a bit of
standing water in the street.


Best regards from Rochester, NY
Jim
