Had a pinball party last night and was having a blast.About half way through the night all my games started re setting and I said to myself {Of all the nights for my games to act up,why tonight}.Then the house lights started dimming and then everything went dark.I opened the basement door and it was like a hurricane outside.The power never came back on and we spent the rest of the night playing foosball with a flashlight.I got a generator going today cause it's like a 1000 degrees out and they say we could be without power for three days.

Please tell me you had enough ice for the beer. Flashlight foosball requires cold beer.

Seriously, good luck - hope you make it through the next few days and that you get your power back soon.

Best wishes on surviving this.

Unplug everything to avoid the surge when power returns.

Me and my two boys were at the local lawnmower race last night, along with the carnival.It was like shit you see on TV EZ-ups blowing around like tumble weeds! Crazy!! I have never seen anything like it, around here. If you run out of juice for the gens BRZ, come on to Galax for some a/c, and you can bring a pin or two if you would like! We got lucky and still have power.
