Quite the coverage of overnight storms we had Sunday into early Monday. Not sure when the power went out, but it was back on after a few hours. While I've posted this info before (archived), I recommend putting the outage line phone number into your cell phone, or keeping it handy if your land line is still working after an outage. Yes, the Duke Power/Progress-Energy merger has gone through, but for now all will continue to work as it has, in terms of phone numbers, websites, etc. The automated 'report outage' number is:
1.800.419.6356
They also have an interactive outage map online you can access at:
HERE or https://www.progress-energy.com/app/outagemaps/carolinas.aspx
That site may not work with Apple products, fyi...the ol' flash player thing. I picked up 1.14" of rain from the storms, though it may have been heavier on top of the mountain.

Humble thanks to IRENE and JUDY for their continued care and upkeep of our ACA entrance area. On their own time and nickel they keep the mulch and foliage freshened, along with seasonal touches. It is greatly appreciated - take a moment to thank them when you cross paths!

Glad the heat has taken a break...highest I got was 93 in the shade, which is rather unheard of at the higher elevation here. Pic (clickable) was from the sultry sunrise last Friday where places like Columbia, SC set their all-time record high of 109 degrees.

Our Annual meeting is coming up not too long from now...as soon as I get any confirmed information about it I will pass it along. If you have any questions before then, contact the ACHOA president Jan Woodlief.
