Irene's Aftermath!

'Cause you know I'm right?

Yes

After 89 hours without power, I've proven two things.

I am prepared for most anything as I've been surviving with my sink, toilet and gas grill for four days without city water!  I have supplies in reserve!  Amazing how many flushes you can get from two bathtubs filled to the brink of overflowing.

My wife however, is NOT!

Had I not been able to escort her north to MA on Sunday eve, she might well have expired from several maladies...

I have some thinking to do for the the next SHTF situation!

It gave Oblama the chance to show he can handle a weather emergency better than Bush.  You watch this week, the coverage isn't going to focus on how little the storm resembled the coverage, but on how Oblama was cool under pressure and directed the relief efforts like a real leader.

Cool under pressure 

Pres. BHO made sure we all knew he was cutting his vacation short so he could be in Washington DC where he could best handle the emergency.  However, things were not bad enough to keep him in his office when he had a chance to fly to Minnesota on a campaign trip

Michael, the president (lower case) gives douche bags a bad rap!

Did she get the vapors?

Did she get the vapors?

No, she's disabled.

She needs to keep to her diet and schedule.  An adjustment is necessary but not a major one.  Had I been able to be here rather than go to work, she'd have been fine.

My company has a massive generator set to keep the work going.  We had more power than we needed and the power company is forced, by law, to buy the excess!

Apparently the surrounding mountain ranges, combined with the big lake saved us here from major damage.1 tree got blown down in the center of town but it wasn't big enough to damage anything, and all the water went into the lake and then down the river.
Other places weren't as lucky,  about 8000 still with out power at Noon today.
NH has 3 East west roads running across the State The ones in the center and North are both washed out.
Vermont seems to have taken a real beating from floods as well.

Glad to hear you are all doing well to this point!

Now that that is out of the way, let the childish harassment begin

Not necessary BAC...but thanks!
