(Telephone wires share the same poles as electrical wires.) * Estimated damge including insurance claims totals $374 million! (Reported to be the largest -- larger than the damage in North Carolina when Hurriane Hugo struck.) * I don't believe there are any outage of cable subscribers. * Wood chips and wood mulch are estimated to produce about 11,000 cubic yards a day! I heard that the county already has 500,000 cubic yards piled up at many places! Curtis E. Reid CER2520@RITVAX.Bitnet (Bitnet) CER2520@RITVAX.isc.rit.edu (Internet)
