WV without power, gas, and grocery stores out of stock/closed?

Why would they up and move to an area with exessive amount of wildfires?

gene pool clean up aisle five , third rock from the sun

everyone with 3 days of food in the house please self nominate yourselves for a darwin award

SMDH..I don't even know what to say to that..

Wow..how would I know how bad it is down there?

I live in northern Pennsylvania..

Besides, I actually prep for what may come.

Great, now you got the government on my ass.

If they can't watch their friends and neighbors on Jerry Springer, this is truly tragic.

Last October we had a snowstorm here in the Poconos.
Power was out for over a week for some people.
We had no power for 4 days but fortunately I have partial solar in my home.
Ironically the power was out but the cable was still on, so I had internet, some lights and working outlets to charge stuff.
At night the battery bank would start to run low so we only used power for the fridge and a couple of lights and used the fireplace for heat in the familyroom where we bunked.
I live on a lake out in the woods so we were low on the list to get restored.
What they did is restore the power to higher population areas first...then moved out to the lesser populated areas.
The gas stations will soon be up as will the cell towers. Some have plain battery some have solar battery back up.
But from what I'm hearing there are over 2 million people in the mid-atlantic area with no power so it could be a few days before stuff gets back to normal.

I'm really sorry about Mom. I at least hope she has enough meds to see her through (providing that she needs them).

But on another note NYC might be next for the power outage:

I have seen this a million times and it still makes me laugh. What a dumbed down douche canoe.

No kidding. What an epic failure.

We just received power here in the Southwestern part of PA just a few miles north of the WV border. My sister who works at a bank in Preston County, WV is hearing that some parts of the area may take up to 6 days before full power is returned.

Those storms were some of the most intense storms I've ever witnessed though. There were reports of trampolines entangled in power lines, car ports being tossed into the air, and tons of fires due to lightning strikes.

Anyways, hope all turns out well for the residents of WV, VA, and MD where the storms hit hardest!

I think this is all being done by design.
All of it.

depends on if her gas is pumped to her stove with electricity or not.

yes natures design, nature is fighting back and rightfully so.

must be from around my area....that was a real mo fo last night...worst I have seen in a very long ass time, scared the hell out of me and wifey....spent the time in the basement (something we have never done here)

really good shot of lightning...WOW!

You,again?

Wow..everyone stay safe!

Time to speed up my prepping, because it just got real with me hearing what is happening to my mom.

yep.

our storms here in okieland are worse than that

I grew up there and most of these folks don't need much help to survive. Most of them are used to hard times all the time.

crazy lightning photos

They've had to have been worse than that, if a grid went out.

if she's in her 40's she should be wiser than you.

..If only.

But, she is my mom and I'm looking out for her. :)
