This is what I'm doing during Hurricane Sandy. How about you ?

Maybe it's roaming bands of junkies huffing fumes.

Saw a post on Facebook in our hurricane information group (see, social media is good for something) about some guy who found a 10 dollar bill on his windshield with a note saying "sorry, had to siphon some of your gas." There's crazy lines at these gas stations. It's nuts. I stood on line for two hours yesterday to fill up a 2 gallon canister.
Funny thing is that I'd let anyone sipon and use my gas if they could. Not like I can use it anymore.

Last year in October we got a 12" snowstorm that killed our power for a week. That's all it took. 12" of wet snow before the leaves had fallen and trees were on the ground everywhere.

Heh I think WV got it this year. We had about a foot of snow in our area when all was said and done, more in the mountain areas. Our power went down tuesday morning and we just got it back last night. It could have been worse but damn... halloween was a bust, especially for all the nneighborhood kids. Yeah trick-or-treating in the dark with no power... that's always a good idea. I think we got 2 or 3 families brave enough to try it. We generally have 50 kids or more so I have a butt-load of candy I have to get rid of. Portions of the state won't get power until Sunday or later. Oh and I got sick maning the generator, this is the first time I've been upright in 24 hours..... so good times!

Wow, after posting my msg, 15 minutes later the power went out......... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
The electricity came back on a day after (exactly 9pm Tuesday) but, Internet was down. It just came back on NOW (Friday 7:30pm).
Did alot of yard cleaning, i created 3 mountain high GARBAGE on the curb and DPW hasn't come around to clean it.
Gas station are a Mad House and traffic still....
Hope everyone made it ok and the MAME CABs are safe ;D
Back to GAMING.......

I'll believe this one. People are desperate for gas for their generators.
And don't call me dude. ;D
