Jim,

That's a bummer. This is the third post on three different message boards that I've read concerning high winds in your area.

Here in Florida the wife and I are pretty prepared for natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires. When TS Fay came rolling through I was well prepared and I didn't have to do squat to get ready since we already were. So when folks were lining up at gas stations and headed to the grocery store to get water and bread I went fishing. It was great.

You never know when something will happen. Sometimes it's best to prepare in advance for the unknown. I hope everything works out and you get electricity restored.
