Not having to run a generator for power for days on end...
Sorry to hear that Von.
We rode out Hurricane Fran in Cary, NC.
14 days of no electricity, no hot water, no AC...and getting meningitis from a mosquito bite and ending up with 2 spinal taps.
Seeing multi-mile long convoys of bucket trucks going PAST on I-4o to Wilmington--but not stoppin in our town.
1 in every 5 houses destroyed with a tree downed through the middle.
I hope things are far better for you and the "messa" family!! I hope the fuel situation gets better as well!!

Thoughts and prayers for all in the wake of "Sandy".
I feel your pain.
