The wind kicked up pretty good, and the rain was kinda funny coming  
down side-ways and all.  Our particular neighborhood only lost  
electricity for maybe 15 minutes tops, but then -- we live not a  
block from a local hospital.  An electric company spokesman was on TV  
around 4:45 a.m. to let folks know that power would be restored as  
soon as possible.  He went on to explain that hospitals and media  
would be the first to be repaired.  Hospitals for the obvious  
reason.  Media (radio and TV stations) so the word could be gotten out.

We have a good government preparedness program in place here.  RITA  
taught us a lot of valuable lessons.

This one was a ride in the park!

Thanks, everyone.
