- What with the two disasters on our hands -- the fire in California and
- the damage caused by Hurricane Andrew, I was wondering if people
- located in those areas who have power and telephone service and
- receive the Digest could keep us posted on the efforts to recover from
- these calamaties.
-
- My sympathies go to those living in those areas and hope that their
- losses are minimal which unfortunately aren't.

- [Moderator's Notes: Very little word is coming in or out of Dade
- County, and the news that is reaching us is horrible. The town of
- Homestead, with 30,000 residents was wiped out of existence. Utility
- poles and wires are laying on the ground in a jumble, ripped and torn
- from their poles, etc. Utility service will not be fully restored for
- many weeks. I forward articles to comp.dcom.telecom using nntpxmit
- through several sites including cs.miami.edu, and they have not
- responded to telnet since Monday. I sincerely hope that telecom people
- everywhere will rally to the support of Dade County. The California
- disaster is of equal concern right now but to some extent was over-
- shadowed by the enormity of Andrew's fury this week. And now we have
- Louisiana to deal with ... so much to do. Please take a few minutes on
- Thursday and help out however you can: Florida, Louisiana, California.
- Thanks, and if you hear from folks in these areas, pass along news. PAT]
