Many are still out around us. Went to eat with a friend last night who had a house full of Korean students who attended a nearby University without power. They are saying it will be WEEKS before they are able to repair the damage. A city 10 minutes away has a curfew in place and, I just learned, their Walmart shut down driving everyone into ours.

However, no hotel rooms open anywhere close to us (not too many and, with so many people without power, they were all packed) and the "nearby friend" was where I would have gone except I have the dogs and birds. Almost all my close friends have cats. | | spapad wrote: | | Guid! Your powerless! Awwww! Now THAT must SUCK! Water gone too?!!

Hotel room or a friend both would have been great ideas, Spa. However, no hotel rooms open anywhere close to us (not too many and, with so many people without power, they were all packed) and the "nearby friend" was where I would have gone except I have the dogs and birds. Almost all my close friends have cats. [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by spapad from Friday, January 30, 2009 7:11:50 PM) | | spapad wrote: | | Guid! Your powerless! Awwww!

NOW, I am going to be fine. Got an electric space heater kicking out the love while I bring the whole house up to a liveable temp.
I am FROM Detroit (Grosse Pointe, actually...suburb). However, I LIVE in NorthWest Tennessee. Nearest city that might actually be on the map is Paducah, Kentucky. 50 minutes to the north. I live in a small, and fairly isolated town and, my main prob, I even live outside that small town in the country. When something like this hits, they work on getting the city turned back on before they bother with us out here in the rural areas.
No worries about me, mate. How are YOU?! Missed a ton of messages but just saw your recent posts. Hope you are are on the mend. [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Necroticist from Saturday, January 31, 2009 12:15:24 PM)

Oh Strat be praised. Power came back on at about 3am last night!! Man, I can use it too. A hot bath is in order as my back is on fire from splitting logs and lugging them up three flights of stairs for the past couple of days. Oh the joy of being able to flush a toilet!
Many are still out around us. Went to eat with a friend last night who had a house full of Korean students who attended a nearby University without power. They are saying it will be WEEKS before they are able to repair the damage. A city 10 minutes away has a curfew in place and, I just learned, their Walmart shut down driving everyone into ours. Here, no bread, only small-size batteries (only saw ONE pack of C batteries in the whole store), water and propane are both sold in limited quantities now.
Yes, my friends, pretty as they might be, ice storms SUCK!!! |

Let a naive Californian dream, Guido. I'm still itching to at least see some icicles hanging from trees.
I'll ask Mother Nature to send you some heat Cali-style. Things will get better soon. Stay warm! [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Friday, January 30, 2009 5:05:12 PM) |

Oh, you MUST be joking. I'll gladly trade. Still no power, heat or water in my house which sits at a comfortable 30 degrees F. All I can do to try and keep one fireplace going as I am really worried about the birds. Means getting up to stoke the fire (bringing the room to a rosy 45 degrees) every couple of hours during the night. I'll spare you the smell of a house which has had no running water for days. Let's just say it isn't pretty.
Run on batteries here is incredible. Nary a D battery to be found.
Wish warm thought my way folks, I repeat. THIS SUCKS!!! To be continued... [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Thursday, January 29, 2009 3:04:46 PM) | | Vaillant 3.0 wrote: | | ...

...and it's sunny and bright here in CA, with highs in the 60s. |
