ooc: Well this sucks...

[nerdherdchuck]

A bad winter storm hit the area where I live. My home still is without power (I've been without it since Thursday night) and I am currently at my brother's apartment.

(Unlike my muse, I live in the Northeast and bad winter weather is the norm.)

So, until the power is restored, I won't be able to reply to tags. It may be a couple more days before power is restored since last estimate, nearly half a million folks were without power.

I hate winter. :P

Yes, there are a tons of them out there. Some areas may not see power until next week even. Thankfully, I have my power back, as you know since I caught you on AIM. :)

Yeah, '99. Though actually...we didn't lose power for days then. This is only the second time in my life (that I remember) that we were without power for more than 1 day. (The other being during Hurricane Bob in 1991 when we lost power for 2 days.)

But thanks for your kind words. I'll be back to tagging tomorrow night for sure.

Oh, good old Bob. Roomie was on the phone (working a temp job) with a guy who was trying to get his information in before the deadline. He told her he was the last person in the building - that it had been evacuated because of Bob.

Oh geez. And she of course couldn't leave until he did, right?

Yeah, I remember that storm well too. Craziness.

Oh, we were safe down here. Bob had already whipped past this area.

Lucky you. :)

At least that time. The problem is that hurricanes that go up to New England move very fast.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yup, that they do.

Gloria was another one like that. Though that one wasn't nearly as bad for us.

Roomie's parents had a real mess after Gloria (which had more of an effect here than Bob, but not by much). 9 days with no power and 2 freezers full of food.

Oh man, that really sucks.

Royally. They were severely displeased.
