from the deep south-east.
Carolinas, Florida....
You folks did a very poor job defusing and draining tropical storm Arthur. You left water - there was 4.6" in my rain gauge Sat night.
And wind - I think you must have mobilized every politician within reach to add their hot air to the mixture!
Our power and phone went out Sat afternoon; power is expected on back here by the weekend at last report. Thousands of trees down - remarkably, no injuries!
No cell phone service locally - apparently power is out at the local repeater. My 5 k standby is keeping us lit, but that's about all. Rain barrell water makes a damn poor substitute for a shower, especially since it's full of leaves blown off the trees!
I found today that while the phone is out, the carrier is still live, and my internet does work. So now getting some e-mails out.
Anyway, gentlemen (and ladies!) - please try harder on the next one!
