Default Re: Hurricane Sandy

No power, internet, or phones. Got wood...er lots of fallen trees, that is. Using parking lot wifi at the moment. Our old generator is barely holding up. It crapped out this morning and i had to rewire it. Its working again (fingers crossed). Schools closed til next week. Wife and kids leaving for Gramma's house in Rochester, tomorrow. No plans for getting power restored for probably a week due to all the old growth trees that took down miles of power lines in a domino effect.

Its like the Walking Dead around here. Lines of unshaven people (some of them men) holding gas cans, and swaying up and back like zombies, waiting for their chance to get fuel. Abandoned cars lining the streets near these gas stations.

Im glad I bought the 50 pound bags of dog and cat food last week. They are well fed but I think the three dogs and three cats are conspiring behind our backs. I think they are planning a revolution and this hurricane stuff was just a cover story.

Wait, they heard me....gotta go. Jabba the Cat just looked at me funny......
