Cowtown is a mess.
While we were packing up from the Toy Show on Sunday Hurricane Ike's outter rim decided to hit a cold front from the north right over the Cowlands and f'd Columbus us big time.
As of last night, there were around 300,000+ homes without power. Mine is one of them.
We have now been without power for 48 hours or so.
It isn't fun at all.
Apparently, some parts of town are on city power and not AEP. The library is one of them and not only has power but also wireless.
I've been off work for 2 days since they are without power too.
The storm was a wind storm. No rain. No hail. Just wind upwards to 70 miles an hour.
There are trees down everywhere and damage to houses, cars, etc.

The Canadians are pleased to hear that your house and home are unscathed save for the power outage.
well, i am glad you are alright, even if you are currently without power...
now if only my friend from houston would e-mail me back...
Shame about the crappy weather and power outages dudes. Hope everything gets back to normal soon.
