he probably doesnt have power. i live about 15mi away, and te power co said it will most likely be about 3 weeks before we get it back. evey gas station that does have power has lines a mile long to get gas for generators.

AEP sent most of its repair crews from Columbus to Texas to get power back on.

Nice of them.

On Sunday the remnants of Ike hit Columbus with winds gusting to 75 mph. More than half of the city is without power. Worst power outage in 50 years.

Well, I'm still here. No power, maybe Monday they said. Going back to work tomorrow. Helped mom and dad with there house. Mainly trees and some roofing repair. I have been staying there since they have had power and really good food, thanks mom and dad! The rest of the week will be canned food..hahaha. Screw the PODS, to many assholes that didn't prepare. Tired of hearing people on the news wondering when there FEMA check is coming. Sorry, didn't mean to sound sarcastic, just tired of people thinking our government owes them something. Some people are stopping from one spot to another tring to get as much as possible, selfish people out there.....'steps off soapbox' Thanks to everyone on here for your thoughts and prayers, gulf coast is going to need it. By the way there is a tigar on the loose on one of the islands......

NASA was flooded by Friday afternoon. Power out Friday night, looks like 28 Days. Don't know anyone expecting a FEMA check besides Blackwater.
