Well, sort of...
Seems Portland, ME got hit by a major storm today, producing wind gusts over 50mph. The storm raged from Maryland to Maine, knocking out power to thousands of homes, according to this AP Report:
NEW YORK - Thousands of homes and businesses had no electricity Sunday from Maryland to Maine as a storm system blasted the region with winds gusting to more than 50 mph, knocking over trees and a construction crane. The storm was blamed for at least two deaths.
Update [2006-10-30 0:46:10 by Da Buddy]: Title changed - seems some folks need to spend a little more time in C&J - IT'S A JOKE!
It seems that Bill's hometown took an especially hard hit:
In hard-hit Maine, a 165-foot crane with a wrecking ball attached toppled in one of the most populous neighborhoods of Portland, falling on three houses. No injuries were reported.
The wrecking ball narrowly missed a car.
WHEW!
Let's hope that there is more to CHEER than JEER about here. Send Bill and Michael some love and well wishes in the comments section below.
