I saw the lady holding onto a street light and a big planter pot... that was enough humor for me.

Everyone's calling it a hurricane, but I believe it was downgraded to a tropical storm before it ever got to the east coast...I could be wrong on that though...my point is there's been a lot worse that have came before...Isable is nothing compared to some

It got downgraded to a tropical storm, and then I believe it got downgraded again to whatever is just a bit less than a tropical storm.

I was watching some show where they said that the news media is making this seem a lot worse then it really is.

Most of the clips of people being in strong winds are only because the people are standing in areas that create a wind tunnel. For instance I saw a clip on Leno where a news reporter was being blown around, but when he moved about 15 feet to the side, he was able to stand straight and it didn't even look that windy. The reason was he was out of the wind tunnel created by buildings and what not. Guess the news just needs some good footage to get viewers.

I was watching the movie Earthquake today. Not that it has anything to do with this hurricane. But its a cool movie.

Hmm, not sure about that. When it got to Pennsylvania, it was considered a level 2 hurricane... and judging from all the fallen trees and a few smashed cars, I guess it makes sense.

Well, thats just what I heard from the news. Maybe they lied.

I AM SO ****ING PISSED AGAIN. MY POWER WENT OUT AGAIN AT 5:45PM ON FRIDAY AND IT JUST CAME BACK ON AT 10:15 ON SUNDAY MORNING. Ahh......but at least I survived. Twasn't fun though, boring as hell, and very uncomfortable, because of the heat. I'm just glad it's back.

Oh, and sorry about the yelling, I was just venting I guess. I feel much better now. Plus I can eat food that I can actually cook.

Yeah...My power was gone from 4 am Friday morning until about now. Pretty crappy with no running water, and all that other stuff, bleh. Three trees fell in our yard alone.
