I know this is like 4 hours late but damn. It\'s a mess out there. People stuck in elevators, roller coasters, subways....

Crazy.

EDIT : If you don\'t have power....please reply now.

Its been on the news for a while now. Its kinda funny, but not at the same time. The freeways are all gridlocked, people just trying to get home.

Its pretty hot there today too isn\'t it?

It\'s been a relatively hot day. Power has been off and on where I am all day, but we were one of the few lucky areas that didn\'t lose power entirely for all that time. Many areas still have nothing, and everything here is fine now.

Yeah, it\'s about a 100 degrees here. No biggie....if you have AC running. But if we didn\'t, man....we\'d suffer badly.

Oh shoot! No one\'s supposed to know where I live!

I don\'t know if my power is out. Is there a website I can go to that can tell me?

Whew! But where!

I just don\'t want anyone to look for me and shoot me coz of a little thread.

I\'ve had lights on all over my house tonight. I\'m just turning them on in rooms I never go in just for the hell of it.

One of the lights in my kitchen is out. Could that be part of the blackout? Seriously guys, help me. I\'m scared.

Power still out? It will be getting dark pretty soon.

The power went out for a hour in my block a few weeks ago. Damn it was dark without the streetlights. Looking out the window was like looking into a black wall.

Good think I had a zippo lighter and some candles.

Hey! Neat candle holder! All I have are votive candles. -_-

Well, I told my mom about the blackout and she immediately called my aunt. So far what we know:

-we lost my aunt (don\'t know where she went)
-my grandmother\'s home alone and she\'s not picking up the phone and we\'re worried she might trip somewhere in the house (and yes they do have a corded phone)
-my great uncle isn\'t picking up the phone either so we can\'t send him to check on my grandmother.
-my mom\'s childhood friend is in some subway system underneath the waters.

It had to be scary to be in an airplane when it happened.
