Remember, we get more than one report from a number of communities sosome are listed twice. We will be getting more reports later this morning so we may update later. If I missed your report, please advise.

Also, if you look closely, you may find a TYPO. Please forgive. My eyeballs look like a street map and my poor little fingers are stressed.
