Here's hoping we hear from Jill soon and that she and Buffy are ok.
Purrs and prayers for them.

Has anyone heard from Jill and Buffy?...or news about Pawleys Island?
The only thing I saw on the news about Pawleys Island is that they
have lost cell phone service. I hope we will see more details, and
hopefully good information.

If it helps, there's a huge number without power here and the elctric
company has a note on the radios that they are working first by
priority services (911, medical services if the generator failed, fire
stations and such) then down the list.

They've actually done a hell of a good job here. We have only 19,135
still out of roughly 720,000 customers. It was 350,000 of 720,000
customers on Monday.

Offhand, Dataw looks to need a lot of cable restrung? Underground
lines do not damage as easy, but when a tree rips out the underground
lines, takes twice as long to redig them back in.

Like one of my coworkers is still out along with most of his
neighborhood. They have buried lines and while they had 2 trunks, both
were taken out by trees when they roots ripped out.

Oh, side note. I know that long before I found any newsgroups on cats,
that RPCC and RPCA split, but it seems some like to join the Jellicle
ball? It's in pre-stage. Even if you do not want to participate, let
me know if there is a beloved pet to read the name of. You can email me
offlist (address not munged) if you wish to add one.

I feel sure Jill is ok, but dear god, please tell me when she comes
back, that I don't have to read Buffy...
