No kidding, I live in Niantic Connecticut, in Giants Neck. We were clobbered, and my power will be out for at least 5 more days, if Im lucky.
Am I Cold, no, my heat works due to the wonder of my generators (Thats two one 6.5 KW and One 3 Kw). I started out with 45 gallons of gas 4 days ago (Plus full tanks in the generators, cars, and snow blower.) One I bought generator 6 years ago, and the other after Irene, I wanted a quieter unit for after dark. At the rate I burn gas, I’m set for at least 7 more days, and I could easily stretch it to 10 or 11.
Am I hungry, no, I keep a months supply of canned goods, dry goods, and MREs in the pantry. I have a gas grill and a two burner camping stove that broke the bank at 39.00 from Campmor.
Am I thursty, No I filled my 10, 5 gallon cans on Sunday, A day before the storm. Then filled the bath tubs Monday.
What part of “This is going to be a historic storm” that was being sung from the rooftops for almost 5 full days didn’t they get. Even Monday morning it was still not that bad yet, the worst around here was after dark on Monday night.
