y halo thar Ike. *Power goes out*

Ramblings of a Trash Cat.
Well, I'll make quick to note that I live in Southern Indiana, right on the Kentucky Border/next to Louisville.
Ike 'hit' us on Sunday, about 1 pm est time. No rain, no hail, nope.. just wonderful 80+ miles per hour winds that took out almost every tree in the damned area.
This state/county wasn't made for hurricane winds like the stuff in the south. About 2:30 pm est time, I had just gotten in from clearing a tree from the ROAD.. before the fire department even got there, just in time for our power to go out.
Now we're one of the lucky ones, the company actually had our power up and running 23 hours after it went out.... its been stated over news and such, that power will be out in some places for up to over a week.
60% of Louisville, as of yesterday night, was still without power.
90% of Southern Indiana, as of yesterday night, was without power.
....100% of most places in Texas, where the hurricane hit full force... dont have places to live, no power, no water...
*Sigh*
Damn you 'Ike' why do you have to be so cheap. (SSBB Brawl ref.. :P) Hopefully everything will be good here soon.

In case and point... I was supposed to have worked yesterday (Monday) and today (Tuesday), an' have wens off... looks like a 5 day weekend this week... with a coupla 12 hour shifts starting the day the power hops on.. weeeeee.

100 hours later.
Granted, still lucky. But man, throwing away all the food you just bought still kinda sucks.
