I love it when a plan "B" works!

ok, now we are on plan "c" . DSL is out, now conneted to the internet via 3G phone, still running on generator power.. Seems to be working, but bandwidth is marginal. We're trying!

I just added St. Mary's freqs to the scanner since the St. Mary's feed is down. Don't know how well I can pick it up though, giving it a shot.

Not picking up much on the St. Mary's channels, just too far away. I tried!

Just got soaked adding fuel to the generator. Good for guessing 8 hours now. Took 1/2 tank (roughly) after 4 hours run time. Baro 28.93 now. Peak gust at Pax 53 knots. Too many tree down reports to count. Crews are just working on critical calls and trying to clear roads to make them passable. SMECO goes back to work at 4am. Understandable in that much of what they need to do is bucket man lift work, i sure would not want to be 40 foot up in sustained 35kt + winds, gusting to 50.... working on power lines!

D, you're awesome! Thank you!

Thanks!

I think most SOMD users are without power right now, SMECO outage map still shows over 100,000 without power. Crews are working hard to clear roads. The rain is down to a drizzle.
