Hey Cybernauts, this is Vern Tejas from the very windy South Col. We're getting hammered by 50 knot gusts. We're pinned down in our tents. We're going to wait, hope, and keep our fingers crossed for a break coming up this evening. It was forecasted by several agencies that we should be getting a break. It doesn't look like it, but we've got our fingers crossed. Please, you cross yours as well...[radio breakup] ...we'll make the call. If it's windy then we'll wait until tomorrow. Please stand by, and stay tuned. We'll be back with you later.

Pray for some calm.

Ciao for now.
