There were areas that they were reporting were 100% without       power. Meanwhile, the lower part of the state was getting tornadoes and       wind damage. At one point, I think the freezing rain warning was only       separated from a tornado or thunderstorm warning by one county.              > I hear there are still about 350,000 homes without power so this       > was a pretty big event.              That is a big event, especially when you consider that the area includes       portions of sparse population.              > I keep wondering if I should buy a generator but losing the power       > for more than a couple of hours is very rare, maybe only happens       > once every 5 or 6 years, so I usually talk myself out of it..              Same here. It is usually an hour or two so I also talk myself out of it. ;)                     Mike                      * SLMR 2.1a * "The Metric System is the tool of the Devil!" - Granpa S       --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/305 153/7715 154/110 218/700 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 111 114 206 300 307 317 400 426 428 470 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 705 266/512 291/111 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 460/58 712/848 902/26 2320/0 105 3634/12 5075/35       PATH: 2320/105 229/426           |
