I am still out. All u people with power are making me jealous!
Just back from a friends where I had a lovely hot shower.

Send some of that power karma my way!

I am hearing that a lot of people who just bought generators and only used them for a few hours here in queens are now selling them on Craig's list

They'll be sorry when the blizzards come.

Has anyone heard from our NJ members?

The problem is not so much no power as being completely out of touch with what is going on around you. Just now looking at some of the devastation and realizing just how lucky a lot of us were. 30 minutes south of me is the beginning of the war zone.

This is where those old Casio battery mini tvs were so valuable.
now that we went digital I don't see themnfor sale anymore.
That is our lifesaver when we had our big storms.

Welcome back Angela.

I did hear from Irene yesterday. Hanging in there. Now has power.

LIPA says 205K still without power. Down from over a million on Long Island.

Thanks Pat!

Lots of people in my area are still without power, and I'm worried that the upcoming Noreaster is going to cause additional havoc. Besides the horrible inconvenience, its just too cold to be without power. The last couple of nights have been freezing, and its getting colder. Many here with generators can't even get gas for them. Its crazy! Sigh.

I'm just hoping that I don't lose power, again......

[GrayFal Silver Contributor and supermoderator Find all posts View Profile Close GrayFal]

Down to 195K as of 8 am.

Yes, many are fearful they will go out again with the next storm.
The upside is that all the trees have fallen down ALREADY so there doesn't seem as if there is much left to knock down the wires....be safe.

Any section of this forum a long(ish) time member can ask for starpoints or other hotel stay 'points'? My best friend had his home basicly washed away and him and his wife and three kids have been sleeping in a minivan for a week because they have no where else to go...With him owning a 'pool service' company he has no money coming in right now...I'm doing everything i can, giving them my daughters old clothes and coats(they literally lost everything)but i live in what amounts to a studio apartment, so i can't host 5 guests

Anywhere you think it will get maximum visibility. Since we currently have no classifieds, and it's a good cause I'll post a note to moderators about it..

Thank you tony! This family has gone through so much lately. They are the family I was talking about awhile ago who's son was in newsday, he's fighting lukemia. The clean up for them is going to be so much harder then others. Even the littlest bit of mold and he can get really sick again

I don't have hotel points but I do have TPU's if they can find a place to stay. They would have to pay the exchange/GC since I'm not in a position to do that. Doesn't their homeowners insurance cover alternate living expenses?
