[AT] Hurricane Irene

[charlie hill]

Just wanted to let everyone know we survived Irene.   For us it was kind of 
death by 1000 cuts with tropical storm force and some hurricane force winds 
over about 36 hours and a bunch of rain.  Folks to the east of us faired 
much worse with a lot of flooding.  No damage at my house other than a few 
trees and a lot of debris.  Power is still out and I have limited internet 
access via a generator that my neighbor is letting me pull of of which runs 
my refrigerator and water pump and for right now my computer and dsl modem. 
Phone service came back up yesterday afternoon.  Typically I rent a small 
diesel generator or welding machine for these event but I had other things 
going on as the storm approached and didn't get a chance to go and pick it 
up.  I’m lucky to have good neighbors.
