Hurricane Irene..

This poo on the news is worse than when it snows, they moved the race and the pats/lions game to show the same crap on the news they have shown the past 24 hours.

What race got moved?

40 bucks for freaking water??? Its not like Best Buy is busting at the seams with customer goodwill...now they're gouging the hell out of panicked needy people? Thats disgusting.

any idiot rushing out to pay that price deserves to be robbed..

The smart thing to do is have at least a couple weeks worth of food, water, and basic supplies in a closet. Doesnt take up that much space, and if you just buy a couple of items of non perishable food every time you grocery shop, maybe a case of water once a month or so, its fairly easy and inexpensive. Just make sure to rotate your stock into your regular meals to keep stuff from sitting for years.

Stuff like dry beans and rice might keep forever, but waste way too much water and fuel to prepare. Canned beans, veggies, fruits, meats and fish are best, imo.

Still no power. 3 days straight now. F*ck man. Like I've been much longer without power, but it seems a lot worse when you're a college student and you can't take showers or use the internet without going to a friend's house.

Where are you at that you have no power? We only lost it for like 3 hours... it was off at my office for a while (over on Wrightsville Avenue) but it's on there now...

I lost power for about 13 hours. Came back on around 4:30 yesterday. It was only my half of the street.

Power was only. out a short while, cable /internet/ phone are still out here.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Still waiting on what's left of Irene to hit up here... not much to worry about I don't believe.

[King Smurf]

Power out since Friday night. Come on New Bern Electric!

They figured out what you were doing... :D

We have underground power and cable lines here on this side of town... I think that's why our power's not out for long in events like this.

Finally got power back on around 3 or 4 today.

Greenville looked bad yesterday. Chris went to feed the utility workers, and it was a mess. He was on the cooking truck and a live wire hit him going down the road. It was still during the storm, and he was blown all over the place even in the truck.

He's in Enfield right now feeding the utility workers. He said it's terrible there. His word was "destroyed" for the area he's in right now.

Lots of trees down here. Some roofs gone. Medlin Buick/Mazda, which got hit by the tornado earlier this summer, sustained more damage. My mom's pecan trees dropped large limbs, but none hit the house. We just have limbs down.

There was a gusty breeze whilst I golfed in Charlotte yesterday.

WHY DO THESE THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME??
