Yes, it was not fun not having TV, or Computer, But it was worse not having a Fridge. Most Held Big cook outs and every one cooked the contents of their fridges on Friday. Easier to Share than throw out all that food. Having too cook everything on the barbecue was not too hard. During the day you could read, and do yard work, but at night, there really wasn't much to do. The radio was your only life line. HOWEVER, what was really bad was that there was no PHONES, WITH Electric not working the phones didn't work. And Even the cell phone towers run on electric. And even when they started working you couldn't call a LAND line because they had no electric and their phones weren't working. Trying to find ice and water here was horrible. And gasoline for cars? you should have seen the lines............. The pizza place on my corner never lost electric (they were on same grid as electric company) was serving coffee at am Friday. But worse was that none of the traffic lights worked, so they were telling people to stay home, you don't realize how much traffic lights save lives, until u don't have them. Walmart was stripped bare of all it's necessities, home depot was selling generators, saws, water, etc., before they even put it on the shelves. But what's really bad is that we saw COMPLETE HOMES go into the Atlantic ocean, JUST FLOAT AWAY. We saw trees in peoples houses, we saw one tree come into a house while the guy was in bed, and the tree stopped a foot from his face. My biggest pet peeve, is the fact that they are going to rebuild kitty hawk, (outerbanks) 13 million dollars, I mean it was washed away, completely, (my prayers go to those 300 people) who are stuck in the middle of the ocean, completely cut off from the entire world. And they want to do it in 90 days because of the celebration of the first flight. They got to replace all that sand, and build new hotels, considering 4 were also washed away, Again thanks for everything, I need to get working on myweb site, after we do laundry, etc. Schools are still closed and it's raining again, all those people with no roofs.
