It's A-O-K folks!
My power went off for about 3 hours, turned back on, and my house is still here.
I know you're all dissapointed. Not nearly as awesome as the promise.

"Do not think that I came to bring peace... I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." - Matthew 10:34
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I know that there are two power companies in our area, Mississippi power, and this other Co-op board. We are just barely on the path to get it from the Mississippi Power corporation. The people who have the co-op take care of their power usually have a much more difficult time getting the power back up.

Mississippi has Mississippi Power Company, one of the branches of the Southern Company.
But they offer some of the best employee benefits of any private companies, and when there are problems they can throw more equipment and men into the field than almost anyone except the government.
I've worked with them a few times. They run a good safe show.
Why doesn't our electric rates go up everytime a storm approaches ?
could it be regulation ?
And yet the lights are still on..
Btw glad you and your family are OK WM.
Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
Proving tax cuts work!
Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.
Yep, glad you survived the storm with house intact.
Most of the people who literally lose their house live on the shore and have it taken away by storm surge. It would take extremely strong winds to take down an inland home without any help from the surge. It mostly only happens to those crappy trailors.
What's more likely is that a tree will fall on your house. Which happened to us in Katrina. It bounced right off too.
