Still out of power. Going on 4 days now; could be a week before I get power back....

Please bear with me updating those coin stats.... Thanks...

Been there done that...how is the gas supply and other necessities...any looting...Dont forget to change the oil in the generator. Thinking about you and everyone affected by Irene on the eastern seaboard...

Living back in the woods has it's drawbacks when you get a hurricane. Them trees do fall down on your power line. So, while most of the folks have got their power back already, I have to wait for the chainsaw-pole crews to do the final cleanup. I think they will get me hooked up tomorrow, as they've only got 156 outages to go in my very local area.

Got me a 500 gallon propane tank, so I could last quite a while. Folks around here know each other, so looting never occurs. You could say we're just backwoods "Country" folks looking out for each other.

Still out of power. Going on 5 days (120 hours) now; only 81 folks out of power in the county including me.

You might as well just cut the electric cables coing into your home as stay off the grid. Then when things really do go bad, you and the Amish will have a leg up on the rest of society.

Thank God you had a generator and were well prepared. Hopefully the next storm out there will miss you...

Good to read you have power, Country. In 1983 Hurricane Alicia left us without power for nearly four weeks. We lived somewhat in the woods then...not anymore...we now live within a mile of a shopping mall. 2008 Hurricane Ike left us without power for three days...I bought my second generator then. So Country you have a stand alone generator running on Propane...nice prep.
