You'd suspect wrong. It all started back in 2008 when we had the ice storm. I was moderately prepared, Coleman stove, firewood, a little food. We lost power for a day and a half on that one. I got nervous because we didn't have much food or fuel, had to go for camp gas during the outage, paid through the nose, much stress and anxiety.
This storm was smooth sailing because of good preparations. We'll continue this way... -Curt Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2012 17:31:58 -0400 From: Max Dillon <meadedil...@bellsouth.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Sandy Message-ID: <cecd7e1d-aa5a-4d3d-b932-47c1e0e30...@email.android.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Wish more Americans were like you, I suspect in that part of the country the majority are. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '95 E300 '87 300TD Curt Raymond <curtlud...@yahoo.com> wrote: >Things are just starting to ramp up as darkness falls.
