Default Computer Silence Expected due to Irma.

I expect we will lose power during Irma at some point and I will be missing in action due to Irma from Talk of the Villages.

I hope that those with phone access to Talk of the Villages will tell loved ones watching Talk of the Villages from other parts of the country how things are going here.

My cell phone is not used to access TOTV but I suppose I could set it up that way. Not sure who would have Wi-Fi though to get access to the internet though.

One should expect that cell phone towers will be affected by the strong winds being forecast.

Hence cell phones will go "quiet" as well.

Well I hope people will keep trying to get on TOTV when the weather starts.
