American Tsunami
I’m back up and running here in Birmingham, but there are still over 100,000 people without power in the metro area. There are power crews from all over the Southeast here to help out, and I’m sure lots of them are on their way to the coast.

Please keep all the people affected by Katrina in your thoughts and prayers.
