[AT] test

I don't think you have to worry to much about the NC.  She's stuck up in 
that ditch off the Cape Fear and balasted down.  I'm not sure she's even 
floating anymore.
She got a new paint job just a few years ago.  She looks good.

The thing with Raleigh is there are lots of trees and old trees there.  The 
newer parts of Raleigh are litterally carved out of forrest land and they 
generally don't cut any more trees than necessary.  Down this way we get 
some winds fairly often and it keeps the dead wood shaken out.
When they do get some wind in Raleigh, as they are this morning, all of the 
dead wood gets shaken  out at once.  Well except what the occasional ice 
storm gets.

We are getting a few wind gusts this morning but my house is protected from 
South and East winds so I can't really tell how much.  The power blinked 
twice but just a blink.  Enough to scare the dog.
