Mac, Yesterday rained part of the day and from 6pm through most of the night it rained VERY heavily. Today no rain but there are a few clouds around. Maybe will rain tonight. Tuesday & Wednesday past it was rain during much of those days.If you have had problems communicating possibbly because of the fact we have had very little electricity time during those days. If you have been calling ansomeone with an electronic or cordless phone (as opposed to a standard phone operating only from the phone line) remember they do not ring without electricity to the base unit.
