[AT] OT - Remnants of Ivan

[charlie hill]

Hi Rob,  there was quite a bit of damage in western NC over in Gerald 
Johnson's area.  Luckily his place is ok.

I saw on TV an entire marina, boats still attached to floating docks, 
floating down some PA river and hitting a bridge support.  Do you know where 
that was?
