Progress is being made, there's a rumor that some electricity may be rolled out to a couple neighborhoods by this weekend Got to have power to pump out the flooded underpasses

Finally back home, our electricity was turned on some time in the last 24 hours or so

Now now allen, haven't you seen the PeoplePC commercials? hehe

I've kept it around for sentimental reasons, mostly mental

Broadband came back up this morning

You can keep your email/im name and ditch the shotty isp service!

Just register on aim.com with that sn and sign up for "AIM Mail" when you cancel ...

cool, thanks

internet connection (cable) is still down half the time - I'm interested in seeing what they bill this next time

Spent the last 2 nights cutting downed trees in my backyard (there's 6-8 back there from my neighbor's yard) with a chain saw - my wife calls it the texas chain saw massacre

Hurricane Humberto is passing through town right now - wind is pretty strong - up to 89 mph gusts and lots of rain.

I'd put on a poncho and go try and fly a kite... But that's just my crazy self and morbid curiosity...

Trees and water are everywhere today - most places are closed, a lot of places are without power (we're one of the lucky ones still with power), I've got a cold and am going back to bed.

haha... "We had a hurricane, I survived with no problems, other than the sniffles"

It was crazy - we didn't even know a storm was coming until last night and even then it was just supposed to be a tropicl storm. It was the fastest storm on record going from a tropical depression to a hurricane. At 4am the trees were bending to the ground and rain was dropping in sheets sideways.

There's still hundreds of roofs with blue tarps from hurricane rita 2 years ago - you just couldn't get people to even bid on your roof because thousands of homes needed them. People's FEMA trailer turned over from the wind.

I want a hurricane soooo bad

Ooooooooh no you don't.

Are you really sure you wish this upon yourself and your neighbors? Hurricanes are deadly terrifying things that no sane or sensible person hopes for.

Dave, she lives in Orlando, i'm sure she knows what a hurricane is :X

And if she wants a hurricane soooooooo bad she needs some reminding.

Lol didn't one just go through down there?

Not directly

Nobody wants a hurricane, you obviously haven't lived through one if you say that seriously.
