You can hear the audio of that TV tower coming down on this episode of "Radio Was There," a new
project from listmember Neal Ellis:

For what it's worth, to my ears, Neal has the best-sounding MP3 OTR stuff out there. Plus a
fascinating mix of content:

Back to northern hurricanes, we got lucky this year. The gulf stream was close in on the east coast,
which caused some of the bizarro weather in the late spring and early summer. Every weekend my wife
and I headed up to the mountains, it was bad weather for a long stretch there, atypical. Anyway,
when the gulf stream is like that, hurricanes can ride it north and come ashore in the northeastern
US and Canada. As we saw with the two big ones down south this year, it's not as much the wind as
the flooding that's lethal. I had a whole bunch of tree-trimming done on my property in the spring,
figuring that statistically we're due for a bad storm out of the east, but it didn't happen. I'll
take the good fortune even with the slimmer wallet, anyday.
