Weather....

John D. · 08-26-2011, 09:00 AM

I know everyone on the East Coast is thinking and watching the weather over the next several days.. First, please be safe out there!!!!

Second, as I live in a coastal community, if we lose power for an extended period, I will have to turn off all my servers and circuits as I don't own a generator (and even if I did, it probably wouldn't be large enough to power all that has to be running to make all this stuff work

)... So - anyway - if the site goes down for a while, you know why... (Also - if you try to e-mail me that the site is down - I won't get that either, as I run the mail servers

)

Again - Jen's and my thoughts and prayers to all of you in the path of this thing - and please - just stay safe, OK??

I don't wish this on anybody, but I'm glad we dodged the bullet this time.

(If your collection is in the basement or attic, move it to some point in between!)

Stay safe and dry, everybody!!

Gee, move to Eastern Kentucky. No hurricanes, no tornados, no mudslides, and no earthquakes.

But everyone be safe.

We'll skip the brunt of it where I live. Still the power may go down, satellite TV may be clouded over, etc. as we are on the edges of its effects. Interesting how Mother Nature, despite our best technologies, can force us all back to taking classes in the old school... Best of luck to everyone keeping their families and collections safe!
