Survived Isaac, Relocated to Friend's House

Much thanks to 
dynastygoddess and her hubby for graciously taking me in here on the other side of the state. Basically my house got electricity back for a total of two minutes on the 30th in the evening before it went back out again. Since it's only the street I live on that's dark, we're going to have to wait a while now because they're still working on main lines and that's a smaller feeder line, which has a lower priority on the repair list. I could be here longer than I anticipated.
Regardless, it was a mixed bag really. Thrilling that we were getting live, first hand images of what was going on in the studio... but nerve-racking at the same time watching so much devastation unfold before our eyes. The flooding OH GOD THE FLOODING it's worse than Katrina, but it's not in New Orleans this time. Thankfully it did not flood where I live. Just really dark and more humid than normal (enough to fog up windows 24/7 not just midday) which is commonplace for a week or two after a hurricane passes through.
That's it guys, stick a fork in Louisiana I'm done. I'm officially working on moving to the Midwest as soon as I go back home :P

Btw, I wonder how many storms there need to be before you americans learn to dig the power lines to ground.
How's it feel, being a free man?

Thankies, I am ^.^
You move to escape hurricanes and in the Midwest you have tornadoes.
You move where I am in California and you got 'quakes.
Hurricanes you know in advance they are coming. Often the same for a tornado but sometimes not.
A quake just drops on you with no real warning.
Hurricanes and tornadoes spread your stuff all over the country while a quake will leave it there but turn it into a pile; sometimes with you under it.
Seems there is nowhere you can go that is totally without some kind of regular disaster.
