Agreed and i hope at this time, people put their animosity aside, and
just recall we have 2 known regular posters out of contact. While I am
sure both are ok, Jill and Gary are apt to be without power.

Jill may or may not have evacuated (not clear) and Gary was not called
to evacuate because it was too late in Virginia Beach to know some
should, before you couldnt get out. The call here was 'if you can get
to high ground, do so or stay home and be careful'.

I don't have Gary's exact address (nor should I) or phone number (nor
should I) but his general area has up to 50,000 with no power still.
Last check, we are at just under 200,000 without power still. His
area, hard hit.
