Do you think TPC will adjust the track at 11am?

THE MODELS ARE TIGHTLY

CLUSTERED FOR THE FIRST 2-3 DAYS OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AND THERE IS

HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE TRACK FORECAST INTO EASTERN CANADA. THE

UPDATED NHC FORECAST HAS BEEN NUDGED WESTWARD TO BE IN BETTER

AGREEMENT WITH LATEST ECMWF AND GFS SOLUTIONS.

kind of OT, but anyone having issues with iphone4 with AT&T?

im expecting a tornado watch here later in the day for philly. Westward shift of track, and De being under one, seems like only a matter of time.

I don't have any ATT outage reports from Philly, although they do have issues in NC:

Trouble Ticket Number: TT000025964670

Severity: 1-High

Charleston, Charlotte, Columbia, and Greenville each have less than 4 GSM and less than 3 UMTS sites out of service in their markets. MNRC and Local Market Teams have been preparing for outages. MNRC RAN is ticketing power and telco related outages. Bridges have been established to coordinate restoration efforts and Local Market Teams will be accessing the situation and work on recovery when safe to do so.

Location of Issue: Southeast Region (North Carolina) and surrounding areas

Start Time: Aug 26 2011 10:00 PM EST

Verizon T1's that feed cell sites only have 6 hr Battery backup, unless the cell carrier has the Verizon equipment on their generators. During Isabelle people in VA Beach had to drive 30 miles to get a signal. I know because this is what I did for the last 10 years of my carreer with Verizon.
