Topband: Lack of NA activity

[Gary Smith]

Hi Roger,

Yeah, there's a flock of storms. There was 
a strong storm, almost hurricane off the 
Connecticut coast the last few days. Lots 
of lightning over the water, 40 MPH winds 
here & enough storms it brought on land. 
I've had the rig disconnected the last few 
days. & there's that old rhyme, April 
showers bring May Flowers.

Over here, Mayflowers brought Pilgrims... 
;)

73,

Gary
