RE: Buddy, Amy & Rita

This is Donnie, broadcasting from another location.

I've been without power since 3:30 A.M Saturday. A call to Valley Electric last night resulted in a rather meandering recorded message saying that "major substations" were damaged and that it would probably be Monday before power is restored everywhere.

I suspect Gayle's power may be back now because I got an answering machine when I called instead of nonstop ringing. Of course it could be voicemail... hard to tell the difference these days.
