It looks like the North Carolina contingent of the DBR team is without power, as a severe winter storm has hit the Triangle. Winter Storm warnings are still in effect with freezing rain, and news reports indicate power could be out for two or three days. I (James) have tried to reach Julio and Boswell by cell phone, but was unable to get through. Until they return, I'm all you've got...
Just heard from Julio (10:30 PST) and he's out and about, but without power. He's OK, but has mentioned that parts of Durham, including where Boswell lives, may be without power foras much as five days.
