[BC] Greetings from Ike (Houston)

[Golchert, Michael A.]

	All the CC stations in Houston and Beaumont (except one) are on
Generator.  Senior Road tower (all users, I think) were down for several
hours during the height of the storm, tripped main breaker on Genset.
We lost a STL tower at the KTRH site in Houston, we have both T-1 and
V-sat backups operational.
	Our engineering crews in Houston and Beaumont have done a great
job keeping everything going.  Hats off to Bob Stroupe in Houston and
David Smith in Beaumont for leading the "charge".

Fred,

our thoughts definitely are with you.

Let us know how things progress.  We've heard of a lot of power outages.

And ... if you know ... how the other cities/stations are faring. Do we
have anyone from Galveston/Corpus Christi/etc on the list?
