Brennan, Very pleased to learn you and the office are OK. Much of Ohio was hit with strong straight-line winds as well as wind sheer late yesterday. Many downed trees and antennas along with power outages and some structural damage throughout the state. I was quite lucky and had just one tree downed, but saw no damage to my antennas. With the exception that one free-standing sun umbrella blew over, the winds didn't even effect the outdoor furniture on my deck. It was a rather strange encounter with nature. 73, Jim Jim Weaver, K8JE Director, Great Lakes Division 5065 Bethany Rd.

I am pleased to report that the ARRL office in Fairfax is intact and its contents undamaged. However, the power is out, as is Verizon phone and internet service. There is no estimate on restoration time, as the damage is still being assessed. I will report as utilities come back online, and apologize for not reporting earlier. I made the inspection this morning, and have just now obtained a usable cell phone signal. 73 de Brennan N4QX
