I didn't mean to seem insensitive with my last post. I hope everything is alright with Che and everyone else there.

Well he was able to call dad this morning, and the eye has already passed him so he should be fine, barring a wandering tornado. He is w/o power tho.I'm consitently stupid- Japher
I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

He still is getting rained on, plus winds... so you are correct.

I have high hopes he's now Montreal's problem.

Actually, it's your statement that proves ignorance, or should I rather say firm belief that human activites is to blame all (especially if it's western activities) - maybe with a gun to a meteorologist head you can persuade him or her to say that there is any significant change in weather patterns including numbers of hurricanes.Originally posted by MOBIUS
Don't expect him to actually back his statements with any proof - after all his very reply belies his ignorance on the subject...
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Hi everybody.
We got power on this morning at a quarter after Midnight. Only 30 hours with no power. Lost all our refrigerated and frozen food except for the liquor and some frozen chicken. Been eating out the past few days.
Our friends who were supposed to evacuate us run a hair salon. Between ditzy broads who were waiting until the last minute to get their hair did and the storm arriving far earlier than predicted, it was a miracle they were able to get home at all, forget about driving to the coast to pick us up.
Stupid broad. They were almost in an accident on the way home. A street lamp fell in front of them on I-95 but they were able to swerve. The two cars in front of them couldn't. They still don't have power, so if their power isn't on by the time they get home, they're gonna come stay with me. (Bunnygrrl is in Chi-town for a wedding).
We got lucky. At the last minute, the storm turned South, though the second highest wind gusts, 92 mph, were recorded in our neighborhood. All in all, the storm was pretty wussy. I took a walk just before the height of the storm. Denny's, five blocks away, stayed open through the whole storm. Our neighbors lost some windows, and some retrograde busted our other neighbor's car window, but got chased away.
Yesterday, I helped an old lady clear her yard of debris and was nearly adopted by a homeless baby squirrel.
It was very cute and very scared and crawled up on my fott and grabbed my pants. I wish I could have taken it home, but I have cats. I'm still pretty sad about this.
Most off the cell towers are out and I've seen some impressive damage. I have pics and when they are developed I will upload them for you.
Our cable is still out, so no internet. I'm at the library.
Mostly people have been pretty cool, but there are always some *******s, *****ing about the lack of service at Wendy's, for example, when they are understaffed and overwhelmed. Public transportation is still out. It was fun talking to people in line for food. Discovered a new place around the corner from where we live that serves Chicago-style hot dogs (Vienna Beef "dragged through the garden").
Can't stop thinking about that baby squirrel.

Hope it was "adobted" by others - they are both cute and smart - at a local bus stop I have seen one pick up a sandwich wrapped in plastic film from a litter box; neatly unwrap the film to get the goodie with a couple of glances at me standing a meter away.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.
