>Sunday afternoon we were eating soup warmed at the fireplace, and heard this horrendous sound -- like a tree coming through the roof. It wasn't, but was the electric meter box and mast being ripped off the side of the house by another falling limb. Our power won't be back until the electrician works his way down the list to us.

What a drag!

>The family has been camped out at a motel, and I've been camped out at the bookstore, so I can get some work done.

>Our fractional T-1 was performing dismally today, since our ISP is in Raleigh and their techies couldn't get to work to reboot the servers that were down. Finally sped up about 3 Tuesday afternoon.

Ha! Never thought our weather could affect you down there.
