Lest anyone attempt to flame Mark, the net has been asked in the past
during time of natural disasters (the Santa Barbara fire of a few years
back and to a lesser degree the LP EQ [I wasn't around for Northridge])
to minimize automated dialup traffic.  This is going to be an increasingly
common occurence.  This fire season is probably going to last another
2.5 months.  Don't bother arguing on the net, argue with the phone company.
Or if you really want to get roasted, argue over in misc.emerg-services.
