a lot of people lose hot water with their power, and taller buildings have electric pumps to get the water up the building

sooooo, cold showers, smaller buildings. Either way i thought the storm was a big waster and i thought it was going to be much more fun.  I was very disappointed.  Until i heard what happened to many other people, I am one of the only people i know that didnt even lose power or anything!

I didnt lose power but i lost cable at 11 pm that Thursday night.   :mad:

I'm glad someone else thought the same...it was just like a windy night on the English coast.
 
 What cracks me up is the genius's at pepco are just going to put the lines back up on poles again so they can get blown down next time the wind picks up....why not bury them like civilized countries tend to do??? Or at least borrow some wire from the phone company because that never snapped!

108!  ugh...i thought i had it bad with 73 hours...it sucked big time...i went and showered at my friend's house since my water heater is electric...and i'm sick of eating out since i couldn't cook since the stove is electric too...

[Guiny]

Damn, i always eat out even with power.....and where do i get one of those wind-up computers at? Best Buy never has them.
