It starting raining here about noon yesterday and got heavy in the early evening. All was well until I realized there was a leak in the basement door and that took the fun out of the storm. Kind of a long night..loud bangs...but the power didn't go out so the sump pumps did their thing. I've got some damage to a climbing vine and shrub but all else is ok. Some family down in VA are still out of power and they got hit worse.
Well, that does take the fun out of it! Darned leakage! At least you didn’t lose power, which is pretty amazing.
Here is the reply I got from WAMU:
“Thanks for your email. WAMU 88.5 faces unique challenges in serving the community that lives in the nation’s capital - ours is probably the most engaged and news savvy audience in the country. As such, national and international breaking news is central to our mission. When the story about regime change in Libya broke dramatically on Sunday, we had an obligation to bring the rapidly changing events to our audience immediately.
That said, we know that The Big Broadcast is a beloved Sunday night tradition for our listeners; it is appointment listening for many. We will repeat last Sunday’s broadcast in its entirety this Sunday evening, August 28, beginning at 7 p.m., as usual. Additionally, you can listen to last Sunday night’s program online at http://wamu.org/programs/bb.
Thank you for taking the time to write to us, and for your loyal listening.
Best,
