Ha, since my last post all power has went down in the city for 6 hours.
Chaos everywhere!
Trees everrywhere!
Everyone is swarming round the few places with generators. Traffic jams everywhere!
THe zombies are coming! Wish me luck.
shit, they say it may be thursday till power is restored. I may have to cancel the expo. UNbelievable.
Yeah...natural disasters typically aren't pretty. Just be thankful you weren't traveling further south. I have friends whose houses were completely flooded. :(
Be safe where you are at though!
are you in houston??
Dude. You co-live in Colorado. What are you doing in Ike territory?
I was throwing an expo. Tomorrow I have to make some tough decisions about it.
THe national guard has moved in because of looting.
This is the biggest outage in history of Cincinatti/ KY.
90% of the people will be out of power until at least wednesday.
I don't know if it was from Ike or not but this morning was pretty much the worst storm I've seen in a long while. I live in the St. Louis metro area and it was like driving on a pond on the way to work and I could only imagine how bad it was several hours later when it was still raining hard.
P.S. I was going to start a thread about this too, but I was going to title it "I DON'T like Ike" but I didn't think anyone would get it.
P.P.S. I really hope it won't be as bad as Katrina destruction wise.
What kind of expo?
What kind of expo?
A TV / Internet expo.
It's so funny though -
We put a lot of money into the contract for like the conference center, food service (We rented out the top floor of the hyatt). The only way we could cancel and get our money back was if an "Act of God" happened.
They said "no acts of god ever happen around here" and laughed.
If this doesn't qualify as an act of god I don't know what does.
