Rita at 12:45pm

Rita's  eye is even with  us about 70  miles to the west.  Our trees have 
taken a beating. The street next my  house has enough firewood to supply a 
Maine 
cabin for the winter.   Hopefully we'll get power soon.  The mailman  Yes, the 
mailman, said  that there were power lines down nearby.  We  have our own 
power plant  in town, so I hope that comes.

I will be buying a wired-in generator  after this.   Immense amount of rain, 
more than I have ever seen in a  storm.   No flooding here.  I've heard of 
some south ofhere about  50 miles.


We have a good radio cast of the nearby TV station.  I  am able to charge the 
laptop in my car, and we have propane for the stove.   We have running water, 
so life is pretty good except for all the noise from  falling branches.

More later.


Regards,  
Sonny
