400 Chicago Flights cancelled
First time back on line since Sunday night. I live four miles from the
center of downtown Tulsa, and was without power for 74 hours. Whew -- sounds like a mess! Nothing that bad here in Iowa, but Mary and I have spent a few hours over the last couple of days working a chainsaw to cut up the downed tree limbs. We lost power at the hotel for about 30 minutes (which is the longest we've EVER lost power), and there are still thousands of (mostly rural) folks without electricity. Luckily bright sunshine this afternoon is finally melting the stuff off the wires. The only thing that saved us from more power outages was the fact that there was almost no wind during the storm. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Break the phone or cell phone, people get annoyed. Break the internet connection, people get ****ed. Drop the CATV? Run! G
