Got one last year because of irene.. still a pain in the ass to fuel it up when all the gas stations have no power or 2 hour lines

Good to have the power again

**TurboAngel** · 11-09-2012, 02:12 PM

Thanks to all my clients for your patience... Just got power and internet back so I am in the process of cleaning up the mess Sandy made and should be back to full speed shortly. Anyone who needs anything done can contact me via the usual email, icq, skype etc...

11 Days with no power sucks... but overall I have been very fortunate, riding out the storm comfortably and not having lost anyone or anything of real value in the aftermath. I feel terribly for those who have a stranger's boat on their front lawn, their house in the street or a missing loved one.

Hopefully everyone can get things back to as close to normal as possible very quickly.

Mine just came on yesterday. 10 fucking cold days!

Glad you guys are ok with just inconveniences and not some type of tragedy.

Were are you, Northern Va? I lived in Burke/Springfield for a few years.

Are thing getting back to normal? The news here in NC isn't showing much about it now.

Still 14,000 people on Long Island with no power, NOT including people displaced by flood waters etc...
The power company LIPA is certain to have their license yanked and some heavy fines imposed.
Most people are finally back to work but a lot of infrastructure is destroyed and power is run on alternative channels.
One big storm and the whole area could go dark again...

A friend of mine lives a couple blocks from the harbor (never got a drop of flooding at her place in the decades she has lived there). Right now she has a 40' sailboat beached on her front lawn. Nobody knows who owns it, it washed up there somehow during the storm and the water receded without the boat. She called the police and they told her they don't have a protocol in place for how to handle 'someone's boat washed up in my yard', they also said they have so many emergencies that they wont be dealing with the boat for weeks unless it becomes a danger or fire hazard.

So, if you know anyone missing a nice sailboat on the south shore of long island, let me know... I may be able to help them find it haha. ;)

uhh yeah that is my boat.. can they ship it to lake st. claire for me? thanks ;)

Tjeezers, where do you live that gets that much snow??? I have friends in Alberta not getting that much, that is crazy..

And here I thought going 3 days without the Internet was grueling torture during vacations...

**Special Ed** · 11-13-2012, 05:46 AM

Man...my heart goes out to all your guys. Glad you're back. Don't know what I would do without power that long! We do have a back up natural gas generator though.

Not sure it would work if our house was floating down the street!
