Bad Very Bad

Just heard from UH_OH he's heading to Nina's. She has no power and about 4" of ice. She told him the horses are wet and refusing to come in. He's bringing a generator to try to give her heat. and get some food to her. She's holding up BUT.

She just does not need this right now



I have a friend who is FD in her area and he's going to try to get someone out there but he is not to hopeful due to conditions and people in worse shape. I'll keep people posted as UH_OH gets back to me

Praying things turn out ok

Sounds like the storm was pretty widespread, prayers to everyone it involves.

Dang UH_OH, your heart is 3 times bigger than I thought. You are a good guy and a good friend to do this for her. If you're trying to get your wings you are well on your way

Be safe and give Nina hugs from all of us!

I just spoke to Nina, she sounds fine, & has spoken to UH_OH & told/asked him not to make the drive in this weather.
She sees lights on less than a mile away & they're projecting her power back on in about a day, not 4.
even though Gary's not there in the flesh, his 2 brothers & nana are right up the lane, as well as the lollipuppers right there with her, so she's not "that" alone

I think tuffy might try to sneak in the house under the cover of darkness

neeners says thanks again to all the loungers for the good wishes

Did not see this kind of did the post on the fly.


I hope Everyone is OK.


Bart you think UH_OH will listen to her? He's kind of thick headed.

no wonder he survived falling out the 2nd story window

she seems to think he paid attention to her request
I think she has tasked him with helping find a back up generator for her, but not tonight

I'm thinking no he wont but he has surprised me before. If he's left already no way he'll stop unless he just can't travel the roads.

He was on his way to a friends house to get a generator.

we are ok, sister has been without power all day. unfortunately for her, her inlaws have power so they are there.

mom was without for a few hours.

apparently half of our "metropolitan" area is without power including my school. so who knows what will happen with that. it seems as though most are keeping civil so there have only been a few incidents.

if the roads are bad and he was driving it may just have been that he needed to keep his attention on the task at hand. i wouldn't take it too personally.
