(Don&#8217;t believe us?  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.philly.com\/philly\/wires\/ap\/news\/state\/pennsylvania\/20090618_ap_floodingpoweroutafterwesternpastorms.html\">We got a note from the newspaper.<\/a>)  Alas, we consider Advanced Underwater Cruciverbalism to be a grad-level course and we just don&#8217;t have the prerequisites, so we had to let the puzzle dry out a bit before posting.  Also, as a result, the posting hasn&#8217;t been through it&#8217;s usual level of testing and prufreedinng, so we&#8217;re all flying without a safety net this time.  However, in <strong>spite<\/strong> of all of this, we think that we still have a pretty good puzzle for you.
