If you've been watching the news (in NorAm, at least, and maybe elsewhere in
the world), you've probably heard that Wichita got hit by a tornado last
night.  Not quite as bad as Oklahoma City, but Haysville (stop laughing...
it's better than Oatville, which we also have) is pretty well wiped out...
that's a town on the southern edge of the metro area here.

We're in the core area, just across the river from downtown, so it's
geographically unlikely that a critter will ever touch down here.  We got
some hail (3/4-1" diameter) but that was the extent of it in our part of
town.

Firebird, the UNIX machine that runs the web server and this list, is on a
UPS, so if you can reach it, you know we at least have phone service.
Plover, the Windows machine that runs the old software (and almost all the
other lists) isn't on the UPS yet, so in the event of a power failure it
might be offline for awhile, although Firebird will continue to accept mail
for it (at least until the UPS fails).
