For those of you who know Fuyukaze...

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

I wasn't trying to garner sympathy, just stating that I too was taking cold dark showers and that it's kinda weird that two cities 1,200 miles away from each other were affected by the same storm.

And I agree with Hydro, where's Terzi? I remember him saying he worked on and around the island at Galveston :O

I know how you feel man, which is weird. Goddamn hurricanes hitting Ohio...

You'd really know how it feels if you didn't have power still like 165,000 customers in Cincinnati.

Don't be mean TJ. He was without power for 4 days, that's not small anymore.

Mean? WTF? TJ and Leon are buds. He was just saying something like 'you are still better off compared to others in your area.'

Chill, logical. You don't have to reply to everything I say

And friends or not, I think Leon already "knows how it feels" after 4 days without power.

After around 4 days without power, you really get used to it and a few more days isn't that bad.
Especially if you've got city water and still have running water and flushing toilets.

Compared to many on the coast, as well as those not even on the coast, I count my blessings nothing worse then the loss of power for 6 days happened.  What with my sister being a dialisis patient, her heart attack last march, and her tripple bypass, the huricane was honestly the least ugly thing.  Lots of my neighbors didnt fare as well what with the number of trees that were down all around.  Some of the people I used to see at my old job had trees thru parts of their home, lost a few vehicles, and one lost her entire roof.  This huricane will take a long time for many to recover from, I'm just thankfull it's finaly starting around here.  Though, work will be killer.  14 hr days are very painfull.

  I could have sworn Izret had moved to Corpus Cristi or how ever it's spelt.  Hope he's doing well if it was Galveston he moved to.  Right now, even if he was doing well and had evacuated the island I know he's facing one headache after another after the mayor of the island decided residents who left for the storm wouldnt be allowed to return to their houses to atleast get any personal belongings left and inspect their property.
