Les,

Hope you get this before the power goes out. Take care of yourself. We are
breathing a gigantic sigh of relief for our area, to be honest about it. The
radar shots and predictions look very bad. I was here in 1995 when Opal went
through here and it was bad enough then. This one is going to make Opal look
like nothing.

Let us hear from you when you are able.
