It Has Been ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY AWEFUL HERE IN NH....
My brother and I lost power for 18 hours and thankfully, with our electric company, if someone has a medical condition, such as sleep apnea as I do, they try their hardest to get the power back on asap. It has been absolutely crazy here in my town, with a lot of the stores either having lost power or regained and lost power, people have been crowding the stores and the gasoline stations for gas for generators, and it took my brother and I 2 hours just to get 5 gallons of gas to take over to my younger brothers house to feed his generator. Today it took me 1/2 hour to go 2 miles from Walmart to my bank as Walmart had opened, but had to close due to losing the power again. The grocery stores and the malls have been crawling with people running amuck because they are trying to get heat and light and get groceries after being without power. The trees that have come down is absolutely shocking and the wires have been aweful as well. I went back out of my parking spot the day of the storm, and it was so iced up that when I lightly touched the gas, I started spinning and went uhhhhh no place...LOL...The tires were moving, but I twernt...LOL
It is so bad here in NH that they have called in electric companies from MA, CT, VT and I believe Quebec Canada to help remove trees from live wires and restore power. It's bad all up and down the Maine and NH borders.
And THAT, my friends is the tale of woe from the NE Ice Storm 2008....The ought to make a horror movie out of this one.
Hope everyone affected are ok. Harrybaby
