<OT> Back on-line now. Two weeks ago last night I was here at the farm watching TV. Wife had gone with friends to one of the boats to play the one-armed bandits. At 10:14 the TV indicated a strong thunderstorm heading in my direction due to hit about 10:30. At 10:15 it sounded like a Mack truck hit the house! I jumped up from the couch to see what was happening. No damage to the house, but I had jerked the telephone cord and ripped the pop up connector out of my laptop's modem. Ordered a special cord form Dell to plug into the other modem connector to get back on-line.

Real freak storm. Don't think it was a tornado, but lots of trees down around here. We had 200-300 small pines blown down.
