No, I read today the hurricane will retain it's original name.
I would love to be on your list. Thanks.
Thanks for doing this, Howlin. I hope we don't need it!

Keep the same name? How can that be?
Cool. Thanks for putting me on your hurricane ping list.
I found that 2000 reply Hurricane Jeanne thread; I'll pull names off of it and send you a new list; not tonight though!
I pulled some names off the last thread; hope you don't mind.
Add me too Howlin, I have family in Punta Gorda, Fla.
I was just wondering where you had been!
Done!
BTW, these are the folks I bought my generator from last year:
I was extremely happy with their service, though I did wish they had emailed me when my unit shipped.
Placed the order on a Sunday (after Charlie) and I received the generator on Tuesday, even though it was expected to arrive Wednesday. Maybe they just felt sorry for me. :-)
If you want a generator that is quiet and that can provide solid, steady power for computers, Yamaha is one to look at. Honda is another good one. There are probably others but these two kept coming up when researching generators and computers.
One thing I learned during my last power outage is that you can lose power and still have access to your cable. So for those of us on cable modem/TV, there is a chance that the cable survived even if the power went down.
Makes sense, I just never thought of it :-)
Great!!!!!!!!
I'm glad it's not tonight :) - I'm going to go keep a date with my pillow - FReep at you tomorrow (or the next day..........)
wouldn't it be great if we go to all the trouble of getting a good ping list going and then NOT have to use it?

Yeah, you are.
Thanks for the link - I will pass it on to hubby - he's in charge of that kind of stuff :)
I understand what you are saying about the cable - but it does NOT apply to where I live. The very first thing that goes out here is the cable, followed shortly by the phone. Electricity seems to be the most stable utility I have.
I don't mind at all. Saved me from having to ask! ;o)
Uncanny how the Ambassador to Mars shows up on a FREAK hurrican thread. *g*
