GRAND TOTALS   5/  2923

3 hours of observation today.  A few Miss. Kites are hunting over the
treetops in the turbulent air.  Not much moving, no surprise with the
south component in the winds.
The road in here is flooded at the Van Tun store intersection but trucks
can probably get through.  We survived the storm and conditions will now
improve.  By the way we cannot recieve incoming calls at the moment.
