| January Wolves User ID: 27543626 11/11/2012 10:02 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Feel so bad for those without power still - 12 days! A few years back I was without power/telephone for over two weeks. Lived on top of a mountain and had over 5 feet of snow in one storm. Only a couple of feet had been forecast. And then more storms came. No one could get up to me (not even the Sheriff's dept. who tried) & I couldn't get out. And it was too long of a walk down the mountain. But I had a wood stove even though getting to the wood shed was a feat in 5 feet of snow since I'm only 5'2"! But I was stocked for the winter as usual since I lived so far out there. After awhile I actually started to enjoy it. No work, no phones, etc. But the thing I remember was that each day seemed like a week in itself since getting the wood, heating water for a bath & cooking food on wood stove & other necessary things seemed to take up my whole day! When help finally came after 2 weeks it seemed like it had been 2 months. Each day seemed to never end! So 12 days for these poor people are a lot longer than 12 days to them! Hope they get their power back on soon! It's terrible that there hasn't been more help for them. |

I mean they have trailers with bedrooms and bathrooms and heat and for some this would be more normal than tent city and safer. I don't get it. Why haven't they opened one up and started to let people that want to into them. They are set up like trailer parks. Why aren't they being used. |

All a big MSM orchestrated publicity stunt anyway. They didn't do jack shit. [link to www.breitbart.com] ![]() |
