Sissies not apply (Hurricane Frances thread)

[Ghost Freeman]

Anyone still have power and internet?

I still do, although several outages here in Jax have me eating off my UPS at times.

Anyways, discuss.

Up here it's just a mere bag of wind, down in Southern Florida, I hear all hell is rightfully breaking loose.

power's out at home, fortunately not at the hospital. but it still sucks. dammit, hurricane go away! :angry:

Wow we lost power at about 11:30 Sunday Morning and im just getting it back.. its really a test of patience without power. I just kept reflecting on how in the olde days people didnt have power. BUt i did follow what someone requested and took some pictures but they all came out bad because of lighting but I got one good pic of a tree that fell on my sissies car.

Ya the winds were fierce. but now i can call myself a Hurricane Survivor bitches

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

I guess by sissie you were talking about your sister

 

[Adidajs]

i lost power about 4:30 sunday, and got it back this afternoon.

 

[nofx]

adidjas did you start to get used to not having power... like day 1
everytime id walk in a room id turn on a light switch to be reminded no power..
day 2 started drawing talking to my self would wash my face everyhour ot keep the sticky rating down ...
day 3 actually began to manage my time well by reading magazine drawing in my sketchbook but then my power turned on...
i love to hear the people whine about how horrible it was.. when in reality a while ago no one had power im just glad everyone is ok and no one is hurt and my neighbors and we built bonds... and we all put together for a generator so we could have warm food... and we had a minor buffet took all the stuff that was near going bad in freezer cooked it up pretty fun stuff.

 

[Adidajs]

sort of. i only lost it for 3 days. i was under the assumption it would come back any moment, so i didn't really have any alternate plans. I did get halfway through a book though which i may not have started this week because of Frances, so that was a good thing.

sounds like you really made the most of it. i would hope i would have done something kind, but it didn't seem long enough. i went to work at night or when i got bored from having no power, no lights.
