Here on the texas gulf coast we've had several
tropical storms over the last couple of years....
while the storms weren't that destructive
(thank God), in each case there was a loss of power.
My cell phone was the only thing that wound up
working (I was suprised the towers didn't lose power).

My mistake was not getting a seperate 12v power source
for my transcievers, though, but by the next hurricane
season I should have the problem rectified.

Top nations that fund UN treasury,
in descending order...

United States: 22%
Japan: 19.6%
Germany: 9.8%
France: 6.5%
UK: 5.6%
Italy 5.1%
Canada: 2.6%
Spain: 2.5%

Russia isn't even in this top 8 list.
France, Russia and Germany, COMBINED,
do not contribute as much to the UN as
does the United States......

The weather channel just put this out as Number 1 on the list of
things
to do in preparation for the hurricane that's projected to make landfall

on the east coast next week. :-))
