we feel SO bad for the folks up there
you never get used to it, but
it's a nightmare every time.
I don't wish it on anyone,.
going through the storm is bad enough
but the aftermath is even worse.
no electricity - your food is going bad
no ice anywhere, no gas...
if you're prepared, you can handle it
if you've never been through it, it's not likely you are prepared.

i have a cousin in Philadelphia...
she said the store shelves were bare yesterday
she has ONE candle, and a Eucalyptus one at THAT
i told her we have DRAWERS full of candles
because we keep preparing over and over.
