    Default We FINALLY Have Electricity Again!!!

    Wow...so I guess everyone saw the thread about snow in Texas. Yeah, it was way cool until about 8:00 Saturday night. We went to get a pizza and some snacks to stay in for the night, and when we got home there was no electricity. The snow started to stick as soon as it got dark, and tree branches were snapping and falling all around our house.

    We had to go outside...in the snow...and try to move our cars where tree branches wouldn't fall on them. Yeah...fun. We were totally unprepared since they had said the weather wouldn't be bad...no heater, one flashlight, no food (except for some sandwiches and Doritos)...and we were stuck because of falling tree branches.

    Well...almost two days later...TXU just now made it out to our house to get the power turned back on for us.

    I was about to switch into cavewoman mode and build a fire in the living room and start hunting for deer in the back yard!

    At the end of Februray, half of Iowa lost power. A few thousand were out more than a week. I work in customer service for the power company. It was unpleasant, and I assume more so for the customers. I was only out about 12 hours, so I got off easy.
