    also, the lights were flickering like crazy early this morning, and the chairs on the balcony of my boyfriend's room kept banging into the sliding glass door, freaking me out.

    My family is actually faring very well. Even when our power was off, we had TV. My step-dad got a generator from down at his work (he works for a wrecking/tow yard)... he wasn't missing the playoffs.

    Metzger what part of Sac do you live in? I am in Midtown and we only lost power for 15 minutes yesterday and maybe 2 or 3 minutes today..

    We did almost get a fat ass tree hurled through our car window though..

    Seriously. Sac trees are for faggots. There are sustained storm-winds of like 70 in wyoming and there aren't any downed trees. :|



    At least this'll wash some of the bums away.



    Also, my dog got out and i was out in the worst part of the storm for an hour and a half looking for him.


    edit: Dude, I live in North Highlands. Us poor folks got it rough.

    First he came for the ancient peoples of south and central america. Right now he's finishing off mexico.

    California is next. I wonder if this is cyclical - will south america be wrecked again when it recovers?
