[TriLUG] cause for alarm?

[Roberto J. Dohnert]

Ye should wait until the fires die down.  I was talking with a buddy of 
mine whom works for TWC.  He couldnt give me many details except to tell 
me he couldnt give me many details but the detail he did give me was 
that this is a test and its going to hit the major metropolitan areas, 
Texas, Florida, New York, CA etc before it hots NC, but he couldnt tell 
me when/if this will affect NC anytime soon.
