On Thursday, October 2 we lost power at the KNON studio due to strong winds and storms.  After being knocked off the air for more than 20 hours, we returned to the air under generator power.  Warren Harris cobbled together our makeshift broadcasting set up that allowed us to return to broadcasting 2 hours before full power was restored to the area.  This was the first time KNON was able to broadcast under generator power during an emergency situation.  Of course, the lights then came on about 2 hours later.
