Further bad news:
This also means NO shopping!!!
This BLOOOOOOOOWS. I don't live on the water, I don't want to lose power, I want to play the sims 2 and FRIDAY IS THE THIRD WATCH SEASON PREMIERE!
Then again, maybe our lunatic news reporters are just happy to have something to talk about, and speculating.
PS- If the alero floats off will FEMA buy me a mustang?

Hoping our newsmen are just happy to have something to do(they are all acting like Geraldo here!) But if Not!WAIT, the FOOTBALL game will have generators? I call
If we have no power and no coffee, but the FOOTBALL game must go on. Whats the point if we can't listen to it or see it?I am going PRE insane. The lunatic newsmen are annoying me. I also do not relish losing power,. (OH LOOK! They are giving away Mustangs.15k!!). I have a laptop, which has about 3 hours of full on battery power, after that I am up the creek should we lose power.
Two kids to amuse, One man to amuse(what he will do without burnout and Madden is anyones guess). I have an xm home kit, but for how long? Apparently batteries and water are being hoarded.
GRR.
I don't wanna see PC beach messed up either. Goofy Golf and the Flamingo are the last remaining cool things down there, they go and it will be a concrete jungle for sure.
DSL also doesn't work without power
So if you see me on the news, you know I lost power for more than 30 minutes and went insane....

Good Luck. You guys on the Gulf Coast may be in for it. Does it flood much there? Here in S.C. the flooding is whats doing the most damage, and N.C. really don't need anymore either. They have moved all the high school football games to Thursday night because of the heavy rain.
April maybe you should park the Alero OUTSIDE and let it float away. Maybe insurance will give you enough for a down payment on a Mustang. Kids and no power do not go together. I know. Right after Christmas last year we went 5 days with no power because of the ice storm, and you know who came to my rescue, Alabama Power. I have never been so happy as to see that big power truck. I sent them a thank you note.
Seriously, I am thinking about you guys and hope you stay safe.

I thought it was amusing till the rain hit. There is NO water, NO batteries, NO candles NO bread Left within 20 miles of me.Me and the thousand other people got the last until the stores restock. I found AA flashlights at the freaking dollar tree and had to fight for them. ANd of course charcoal to grill the meat that's going to ruin.
School is closed the rest of the week too.
Bonus- I don't have to be up at 5 to get the kids on the bus. My beloved Dan Russell Pier in PC beach has waves crashing over it. This thing is starting to worry me. Don't take my biannual vacation spot PLEASE!
Granted, I live in a populated area, BUT I live on the side of a hill. So plus, AL power gives back to the population first. Un bonus- The rain up the hill has to flow down the hill. My neighbors live in a hole.
AND TO TOP THE FUN!!!!!! The freaging starter in the bronco just peed the bed. Oh the joy.

I'm sure.
Did I mention here we are out of plain gas, but my favorite station is selling premium for regular $? I have enough to get to Chattanooga on the way to NY. If I do lose power, off I go.
Storms don't scare me, losing power(and tv,and showers, and coffee and computers) does.

Btw, if anyone wonders how Bham is gonna end up in this things path.. Brad and I live about 5min from each other.. and about 25min from El'smine. gokbgo is down below us on the map in the lower center part of the state (he'll be gone before it gets to us
) and sendero is somewhere in the upper west part of the state

Dont forget Aleros and Broncos....
I drive two cars ending in O.
This is redundant, no nothing going on here. Better remain.
Still no batteries
