[rescue] alive and kicking

[Dave McGuire]

  Well, in spite the best efforts of a rather beefy tornado, we (Mike N,
James Sharp, me) are still here and in one piece.  My power came back
on a few hours ago (it'd been down since yesterday afternoon) and I'm
hip-deep in the "rebooting my world" process.  Only minor yard damage
here at my place, but just three blocks down the street looks like the
aftermath of Dunkirk.  A local Home Depot is missing its roof and has
a tractor-trailer sticking out of the side of the building, and there
are still many "pockets" of nearby power outages as of a few minutes
ago.

  Apparently it tore the shit out of College Park, just a few miles
south of here.
