Phennommennonn Forum Administrator  06/30/2012 08:55 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | back in dec 93 when i moved there - they still had manual bowling ball pin setters (people doing it!!) and also telephone party lines - this was down south east wv....east of beckley political correctness is a doctrine.... fostered by a delusional, illogical minority...... and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media; which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end. |

There is a store that is open about 25 minutes away and they are going to stock up in the morning. Still uncertain as to when they will get power back. Thanks everyone for your support! ***Earth was once considered to be flat. Anything is possible.*** |

| soulsurvivor User ID: 18832608 United States06/30/2012 09:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP, see if your mom has a battery operated radio that works. She can use this to listen to local reports which may indicate if there are temporary emergency services she could benefit from, such as bottled water distribution, health care center services, and food giveaways. I hope your mom and everyone in the areas effected by this stay safe. |
| anonimalle User ID: 15657820 United States06/30/2012 09:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now my mother heard from a neighbor that the water plant is being shut down??? Quoting: Starry eyes I'm in a panic. She has 3 days worth of food... We are headed to WV now. But before we go we will call the friend who we are to visit. I will tell you what he says if I can reach him. He lives in the Elkins area. We are halfway thru Minnesota so it will take us a day or so to get there, but I will let you know if I reach him by phone.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 15066116 United States06/30/2012 09:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I like outside of DC is Rockville maybe 40 min from WV boarder. We got rocked last night. I have power but 1.5 mil are out of it around this area. It was one of the most awesome storms I have ever seen. Its rumbling out there now, they predicted storms three nights in a row. Last night was the 1st. |

| ladyannie2009 User ID: 18457264 United States06/30/2012 10:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I would relax OP....if your mom is like most West Virginians I know, she will be ok. Even though a lot of jokes are made about them, they are very resilient and resourceful in most cases. Hell, most know how to "live off the land" in worst case scenarios (some do it just by choice alone)! So I wouldn't worry much!! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1230093 Thank you for the comfort. She was born there, but moved away as a baby and just moved back a couple years ago. She has lived in the city most of her life. Either way, me and my siblings will be checking on her quite frequently. She is in her 40's, so she could fend for herself, but I'm keeping close watch. I agree....I have lots of family in WV. Aunts, Uncles, dozens of cousins. And they do bond together as a unified group. For good or bad. Probably the most loyal, honest, and hard-working people I've ever met.

| AC User ID: 16125520 United States06/30/2012 10:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just came from Huntington, W.V and most of the town is still without power. No gas pumps working or motels open. Some stores selling cooler items for cash. It's HOT and miserable for those people. I did see about a dozen electric trucks heading that way from Kentucky. Bad situation. |

Most sections won't even begin to repair till Monday. Supplies will be low for this week during a record breaking heatwave. More severe hail and wind storms to follow tomorrow.  Biko |
