Just recieved a cell phone call from RP and he asked me to pass this along here:

They just had a tornado pass through his area taking out power, phone-lines and cable. His server is DOWN till an estimated Sunday Evening. Apparantly a tree next to the house came down also, but with limited damage other than the various lines. Thankfully, everyone seems to be okay at this point. I will update as I find out more.
Thanks,

thanks SR... glad to hear there all ok... thats more important than the game anyway, but thanks for the update.

Hi all,
Sorry, this is not how I wanted BOTE 07 to go down in history. 
I got a generator going to provide power to the fridge, freezer, and laptop  but since I will not be leaving it run 24/7 I'm not going to bring up the game.
Wife, Kid, and house are all ok, but my yard is full of trees.  My phone appears intact, but the cable and power are out.  The primary power lines are currently across my front lawn. 
They expect not to have power untill after Sunday night.  After which I'll post here when I will bring the game up.
Thanks to Storm for posting for me, and once again, sorry for this major interuption to a tournament game.  Enjoy the break, rest up, and be prepared for battle when it comes back.
I'll be dropping in time to time as the generator is running.  Without it my modem won't run.

RP, games are a very minor issue relative to what you are getting to deal with. Glad the damage wasn't much worse. Living in Kansas, I've seen too much tornado damage first hand.

Appropriate that stormrider made the post...

Checking in, not much to report.  I've been cleaning yard this morning and took some pictures.  I'll post a link if I can get them up.
I'll ask an admin or mod to move this to general as it's not really a rebang we're talking about here. 
Please

Living down here in hurricane central I can really sympathize, glad you and yours are safe.

 
Darn dude!!!! glad you and your family is ok !!
As For the BOTE it will restart when it restarts. This is a Game that takes a back seat to real life not to mention forces of nature..or what insurance compienies define as an act Of God.
 
You get one for the record books though..First Tournament Delayed because of Tornado!!!  heh

Good news!
Power is back up.  I already stated that I didn't expect to see power until Sunday night, so for those that tuned out till then I'll hold the game till then.
Game officially opens for business again Sunday night at 7pm EST.

Great to hear, and glad you and yours didn't get hurt in all of that, yeah SG this is one for the records, tourney delayed due to tornado.

Just glad it wasn't worse than it was.

After carefull reconsideration I feel I must go back to what I said at the start of the game, and bring the game up ASAP.  I have contacted the three teams via icq, and this game will resume at 7:45 EST tonight.
I'm sorry I keep floundering with this issue.  I like to make it easy for the players, but you always leave someone out.  So best to stick to my original plan.
