[FADCA] Our Ham Friends in the Wilma Aftermath

[Freeman Crosby]

Hi Bud,

I have auto reporting on but computer re-booted last night ( I had 
done an update and maybe it got tired of waiting for me to do it ), 
let me know if it isn't working now.

My BBS and Telpac was off while I was on my trip in September but I 
had it back on when I returned.

I evacuated my place here on the key Sunday and apparently we lost 
power long enough for my UPSs to shut down and the Telpac computer 
did not re-boot.

My ISP lost FPL power during Wilma and his emergency backup didn't 
run his whole system, only e-mail and web connection so all the web 
sites went down.

Good lesson learned here, will have to separate the various systems 
as to priority and get important stuff so it will stay on as long as 
possible and re-boot by itself when power returns.

I had already fixed my web cam so it would stay on independently so I 
could keep an eye on the place while on my trip but it sends the 
image to the web server which went down during Wilma.

Wonder if you heard Jeb on TV last night about the FEMA trucks losing 
communications, they had cell phones but they didn't work.

We had no damage here, hope everyone is OK,
