O/T : POWER BLACKOUT... Easterners... ;(
Mswolfe | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 07:44 pm     I am outside of Wheeling, WV and we never lost any power down here. Its a horrible feeling to be without power. |
Smokey | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 07:48 pm     That's great to hear, GAL! I hope they get things going up in Cleveland--it sounds pretty shakey with their water supply. |
Feelin_Good | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 07:51 pm     Kenton, Ohio here and we have power wooohooooo!!!! |
Aerojunki | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 08:19 pm     Massillon, Ohio here & we just now got power back, it was out for 7 hours. |
Smokey | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 08:39 pm     Aerojunki--my brother lives near you and I'm in North Canton. Glad you got your power back! |
Cliotheleo | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 08:44 pm     Oh no! LA's lost power too! This is a shot of the current FOTH!!!!!
(kidding) |
Mizinvanccouver | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:26 pm     My thoughts are with everyone without power. I hope it is completely restored A.S.A.P. |
Wendo | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:35 pm     Holy crap, some of you are from Canton, Ohio? That's where I was born and raised. My mom lives there still, but in North Canton. I was just there a month ago. Too funny, I had no idea!!! I know EXACTLY where Everhard road is. Wow. |
Chy | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:59 pm     The only inconvinience I experienced around my house was the restarting of my computer. I was in the middle of HOH comp. trying to get the full story. I thought the worm has gotten my pc! Then it wasn't fun to have to get all dressed up, go to church (feast of Mary) just to turn around. Not much complain here though, especially great since we're not in those "apartments with bathtub in the middle of the kitchen" anymore. If we were in NYC tonight, we would have been part of the bunch sitting on the sidewalk sipping whatever... BTW, we're somewhere between Syracuse and Ithaca. |
Pannie | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:03 pm     I can't believe the power went out all the way to Ohio and WV! Amazing (scary) breadth of loss! Be safe tonight & tomorrow morning! |
Pannie | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:12 pm     CA news just said: 50 million people were effected; state of emergency in NYC (10,000s of people walked home through city); still not sure what caused it yet (including a fire in PA, lightning in Quebec, etc) |
Cliotheleo | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:13 pm     Some friends of mine and I were just talking about how things like this can bring people together and how there have been so many stories about New Yorkers being extra kind to one another during all of this. It reminded me of one of my favorite poems by Shel Silverstein and I wanted to come share it here........ No Difference Small as a peanut, Big as a giant, We're all the same When we turn off the light. Rich as a sultan, Poor as a mite, We're all worth the same When we turn off the light. Red, black, or orange, Yellow or white, We all look the same When we turn off the light. So maybe the way To make everything right Is for God to just reach out And turn off the light! Pannie, maybe it was Divine intervention.  |
Justshirley | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:50 pm     I live in downtown Cleveland and the power came back on about 20 mins. ago. This should be good news as far as the water issue goes, since they now have the power to get the downtown pumping station up and running. I hope it's soon. I haven't been able to flush my toilet for over 9 hours. |
Lostintheglades | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 05:30 am     Thought this might help some of you who are not used to being without power for long periods of time. As a native Floridian, there are a lot of preps prior to a hurricane. Some things you can't do unless you are forwarned. Here's a tip that everyone can do. If you have an extra freezer, save a few milk jugs and fill them with water to freeze. When power goes out they serve as water to wash with, flush the toilets and they are a great help in keeping things cold in the fidge and freezer so you don't lose your food as quickly. Glad to hear you all have power again. |
Monkhead | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 07:06 am     The worst of it was having to miss Amazing Race last night!! My hubby and I were so bored and we too, could not even flush the toilets until 5:30 this morning...I live in South Euclid (Cleveland) Ohio...T.G.I.F. work sent us all home this morning!!!!!!:-)Browns football tonight - Big Brother tomorrow...perfect weekend! Have a great day everyone - and thanks for caring! |
Costacat | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 07:06 am     Wondering why the mods didn't move this to the General discussions thread? |
Moderator | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 07:24 am     There is already a thread there about it |
Ryn | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 07:58 am     Closing this thread and pointing everyone to the Power Outtage thread in the TVCH General Discussion Area. Thread Here Thanks!! |
