There's a good chance that he hasn't gotten power back yet or that he's
backed up with E-mails. My buddy just got power last night but I know that
there are still thousands without power. If you like, send me his phone
number by direct e-mail and I'll try giving hm a call.
By an amazing coincidence, he IMed me at lunch today, about an half an hour
after I posted this. He weathered things in Tampa. No real drama, just
some superficial damage to his porch and eaves.
