Audio from the P.A. call in San Diego is available on-line at HydroInsider.com. It will be silent when they're not on the P.A. but you'll know it's working because you'll see a graphic.

From Steve Montgomery earlier: Apologies to those of you who tried to listen today. Turned out the wire under the driveway from the telco box to our tower had become too corroded to be reliable. To the credit of AT&T and Alltell, Bayfair's com vendor, they went to work and strung a whole new line for us. Craig Barney says we have a pipe now that could handle hi-def TV, so we should be good for the rest of the weekend.
