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

spoke to my BFF - she got my 911 thru her daughter - no working phones - she called me from a landline in a store miles away w/calling card

no power no gas no water - wally world is only open. one place for gas miles from her and theres lines.


she asks all west viginians in the thread - did you lose power approx 30 minutes before storm?

everyone shes talking to in diff counties are saying this.

power-line fires preventing immed restoration.

state road isnt cleaning up downed poles/trees - the people are.

banks may not be open monday or ties due to no power - no power no digital transactions.

ntelos phone - down. us cellular phone - down. sprint is semi working. vzn is semi working.

all cable/internet down.

clarksburg - jane lew, glen elk, shinnston, fairmont and phillipi in the dark sustained severe damage. ppl in cities fucked.

bridgeport hill walmart is open. supplies limited or none.

Update--

Family just told me people are siphoning gas from people's cars. People are also stealing ice out of ice boxes outside of gas stations.

Local police said up to 2 weeks without power.

Family is doing okay, they have neighbors that have been through this sort of thing down south.

People in Wv like that you feel that way..it keeps out the riff raff, the trash..no multiculture bullcrap..Most the men hunt, fish, and are mechanicaly inclined to keep those chevy trucks rolling right over your ass.

And to think that area is one of the more civilized parts of WV! At least my peeps to the south are up a holler with some very competent guys who just git er dun and have the tractors, backhoes, etc. to do it. Too bad my bro didn't order the natural gas generator when we talked about it last spring. Maybe this fall...

based upon my reaction on facebook when instagram was down a for few hours, people started freaking out.. were surely doomed when the entire grid is out for more than 2 days

soooooooo imagine all of this chaos across the whole west coast or even more states.. thats whats going to happen later this year, the same situation but on a larger scale. people will immediately start looting for gas, food, supplies, and water and there will be no EMS or police because of all the downed communications, the only way will be battery operated walkie talkie

Absolutely nothing like that happened when tornadoes wiped out the entire northern third of this state.

People helped each other, shared grills to cook, took water and ice to those with no transportation and we were all just fine.

Volunteers searched debris and there was very very little looting of any kind.

can anyone confirm please????????? *reports from several counties - barbour, harrison, taylor, doddridge, calhoun, lewis, saying residents lost elec/gas & water 30 mins before storm. ppl find it suspect.


did power go out approx 30 mins before storm hit?

Maybe it depends on the area you were in, or maybe it was a different tornado, but:

exactly

i know for a FACT people in my area are not going to be anywhere near as nice ^^^^

the general population will act out of character when theyre cut off from their spoiled wasy of living

Well, even if people did lose power before the storm, doesn't it matter where the actually grid is located?


I thought the grid was damaged?

I'm not that knowledgeable on power grids.


...or could it have been a solar storm and the storm was created to make it look like it was the storm's fault?? I know weird conspiracy! lol

theyre burning the grid - reports of line fires.

But who and why?
