Man, that sucks. I feel for you.

Back in late August to September, we lost power for a week after Hurrican Irene hit. My grandmother even came to stay with us during the storm since she lives on the shore, and we figured it would be worse down there. Turns out, her apartment never lost power according to her neighbors. She promptly went home the next day. Best part was that I was headed back to college the week after the hurricane and I ended up going there before the power was restored to my parents' home. Kinda wished I stayed with my grandmother for that week. At least I had plenty time to pack all my stuff.

Good luck down there, hopefully you won't be in the dark for too long. I'll keep a closer eye around here as I'm sure you'll be only able to come on here for a while depending on if you can still charge your phone.
