WE HAVE POWER BACK!!!
Boy, let me tell you, it has been an interesting 7 days without power, water, or phones in the wake of Hurricane Isabelle. And then, to add insult to injury, we had 5 tornadoes rip through northern Richmond on Tuesday. Very nice. Hats off to everyone in Richmond, Va who pulled together to help each other out.

1. Congrats about your power
I'm very happy for you. I have been wondering about the power situation on the east coast. Oh yeah, welcome! :toast:

2. Good for you. BTW, you missed the "tipping point".
Here's a few headlines from MSNBC from the last few days.

Things are finally looking sane.

6. I have been living on the Gulf coast
for 49 years and have been through many huricanes. I know exactly
how you feel! We take electricity for granted until we do not have it.
