Hurricane Sandy went through here yesterday. We had a lot of water and wind. Power went out at about 7 pm, giving me the opportunity to display my technological prowess by deploying my 1.1 kilowatt DC/AC inverter. It worked very well -- we had lights and TV, and were the envy of the neighborhood. We all went to sleep on the ground floor -- trees are the real hazard here. We were very pleased to be awakened by the lights coming back on at 1:20 am. Three cheers for Dominion Power! I hope listeners in the storm's path had it as easy as we did.
Podcast #147 will be a special Hurricane Sandy edition. I should have it out in a day or so.
