bjorn_skurj Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Who's fault? God's fault - he should have fertilized Mary with his magic semen in October or November of the preceding year, rather than like, March or April of AD 1 (or would that be BC something or other?).IHVH decided to throw this holiday to the Southern Hemisphere, where Dec. 25 is really nice. He moves in mysterious ways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Damn. How did that happen, man? Wind? I heard it was due to ice build-up and rain. The building has been ready to go for years - it was over near 80 years old (or close to it - anyhow). No upkeep had been done to it for a long time. I figure the person who owns the house behind it will be busy here shortly. I don't think the fire department was too happy about spending their Christmas Eve working on it. The area in front of the ruble is trashed - it looks like a water tank erupted in the street. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 We are going to get it tonight. I think about everything was closed today - except where I work, that is. I've walked into town on black ice - so this morning was not that at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PigSooie Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 we had two trees fall on the house, but somehow escaped damaged. Age old trees have crumbled. Still no power. Some photos. http://arkansas.scout.com/2/834451.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco Worshipper Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Some photos. http://arkansas.scout.com/2/834451.htmlThat scene is very much the same of what we witnessed last month Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PigSooie Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Still no power for us. Although it sucks, we don't have it near as bad as most in the area. I'm just more bored than anything. 15 miles north of us looks like a war zone. You make your own road to get around. Just dodge the trees, and try not to hit anyone's house. My state has taken a beating over the past year, but as humans always do - we find a way to survive. They are saying in some areas it could be up to 8 weeks before power is restored. Hopefully, this is just some urban legend that started out of boredom. One bright spot in all of this is hearing the stories about folks sitting around candle with friends, family, and neighbors talking, reconnecting, playing cards and board games, etc. You hear things like this, and wonder is this whole thing really that bad.

Really dumb question...if you guys have no power how are you using your computer? Do you have a back up generator? My thoughts to all of you without power in Arkansas and Kentucky!

remphish1 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Ahhh! Wow that is some commute...that would take over 2 hours in NJ to cover 60 miles! Good luck with everything! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Some of my ice photos from this week! We had a city-wide blackout for a few days. It was crazy but power is back to most of the town now. I found this neato layer thing going on when I cleaned the ice of of my truck. Those trees used to be standing upright. Trucksicle! Llynnsicle on day one before it got really bad.

Analogman Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 It's suppose to warm up to 50 here today. Someone forgot to tell the ice monsters though. They were all over the road as I was traipsing up to the laundromat this morning at 7:32 am. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 That has not happened where I live. But - every night on the news, there are scenes of wrecked SUVs all over the place. Also - we are having a lot of water pipes breaking under the street - mainly downtown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
