First, as always, the important information 5 people died in Cuba during Hurricane Michelle. Electric and telephone lines are still down in the western part of the island. Electric power was turned off by authorities before the storm. International telephone service has been restored, but reaching people in Cuba is still spotty. Internet service appears to be fuctional, but determining the true physical location of a host is always a guess. Hurricane Michelle missed most of South Florida and is moving away from the Bahamas.
