For those who are wondering:

@Very-Rusty's Nova Scotia was hit on Saturday morning by hurricane Fiona. From what I have read, 80% of the homes lost electrical power.

Thank you for mentioning that, Earl. Hoping they are well-prepared for storms in general up there.

Have you stocked up on iodine pills, just in case the wind blows the wrong way?

Not a problem.

VRusty has been on vacation, but today, he did move in our game, and remains on vacation. So that's good news.

That is good news, and as far as we know, Rusty is the only one of us living in that area?

Thanks Earl,
I couldn't talk just make moves, wanted to conserve battery life. I left a small account of what has been happening in the "Ghost Chamber".

Thanks torunn,
I am the only one I know of that is from this area. There are friends from my area on another site I play chess with regularly.

Look closely and read a bit and you will find out that house is in Newfoundland, very sad 20 homes lost to the ocean. Perhaps this will give you a better prospective of what occurred.

Many thanks, I really appreciate this excellent advice which will no doubt help me to get a better perspective on the extreme weather fluctuations currently occurring in your hemisphere.

Hope the thoughts and prayers made it over anyway.

If you would actually read what was going on instead of trying to throw cheap pot shots at me, you may have a better perspective of what is actually occurring.

Cheap pot shots? It was a news article about the storm.

Did you think that I really thought it was your house?
