Columbus OH (clintonville) I just got power back

Stuff:

Big ass storm 6/29 lots of damage

It has been stupid hot. It was 91 degrees @ 11:00 PM last night.

Americans and my neighbors when put to the test are great people!
Everybody chipped in after the storm in clearing streets, sidewalks,
and the alleys ..... food and ice was shared ...... every senior
were checked on @ least 3 times a day ..... we had coffee runs
for us caffeine freaks ..... when one or two homes got their power back the
home owners would set up cots & stuff for people to sleep.

The men and women of AEP busted ass and did a great job in getting power back

The governor of Maryland talking about putting a boot on somebody's butt to get the
the electricity back on quicker was being a douche bag ...... he should get his ass
up a power pole and fix the lines himself .... the man and women who fix those lines
can't just be invented .... that is a highly skilled job and a dangerous one too.

Instant Coffee really sucks.

When I got home today it was 92 in my house ..... but with the power on things
are feeling much better.

I did not miss t.v. @ all.

A cool shower with another person isn't a bad thing either.



Why are the calling this storm after Rachel Maddow? de' rachel?

Fox Radio is really bad! .... I had to listen to 610 WTVN for local news ..... they really
just make stuff up and put it in their national and local news.

trees or climbing a pole in this heat and proper safety equipment is just something I could never dream of doing!

Cannot wait until AC works its magic & the temperature drops in the house. My refrigerator & freezer are the cleanest they have ever been. Everything had to be thrown out.

I just can not imagine no power....ugh.....I'm such a wimp. I'd be the woman someone slaps and says get a hold of yourself....as I'd be the one screaming. So glad your power is back.
