Insane.

Can anyone else from the area report (that is, if you reserved your power on your laptop)
 Quoting: Starry eyes


Here's what I just heard from my brother and two sisters in Central WV, about 40 miles north of Charleston, the capital:

o Power is out, could be up to a week. If you don't have a gas stove or camp stove, you have no way to cook. All those road kill deer in the freezer are starting to rot.

o Only a few gas stations within 100 miles have power to pump gas; in Charleston, there are lines a mile long waiting for gas and people are projecting violence when supplies run out.

o Rural people without fully fueled generators have no water, except what's available bottled, in storage tanks, and in nearby creeks.

o Land line phones are out and cell phone coverage is limited, so very little Internet. In rural areas, they're saying could be two or three weeks before phone service is restored.

o Temps are mid to high 90s with VERY HIGH humidity; extremely dangerous.

This info holds for a lot of the state. It's not very populated but it is very rural and right now is a pretty good model for what happens when TSHTF, because in WV it has hit.
