I've got the power!

It all started a week ago when I was enjoy a lazy Sunday. I was doing laundry and watching the Office. Then the wind started blowing and my power was going on and off for about 3 hours in 10 minutes surges. Then at 5:20 it went out and did not turn on again...until Friday. It was a mess. Traffic lights were out, tree branches were all over the place, and people were running wild looking for open stores with candles, flashlights and batteries. Luckily I had batteries and flashlights on hand. My stove is gas so I was able to make pasta, soup and other things like that. I read a little before bed and then I hoped the power would be on in the morning...It wasn't and I drove to work to find out it was closed as well...Tuesday I went back to work and was able to charge my phone there. On Wednesday I had to throw my food out and clean the fridge. I was able to watch a little TV because my co-worker gave me a hand held TV. Thursday I picked Dan up from the airport and on the way home the traffic lights and businesses just blocks away from us had power. I was so excited until I saw your building and it was still dark. It was devastating. Finally when I came back home from work on Friday we had POWER!!! It was quite the experience but once I got into a routine it wasn't so bad. I guess now I can say I survived Hurricane Ike :)

Also I found this WEBSITE. Here are some results:
