I survived the Buffalo Storm
Anyone that lives in the Buffalo NY area would know.
The power just went on 5 minutes ago.
From Thursday night until now.
Can you go without power that long?
This weekend sucked! No power, no heat.
Nothing to do all damn day.
Not only that, most trees in Buffalo where destroyed.
They where either snapped in half.
Or just fallen in the streets.
Well I gotta get some work done!
Thank God Im still alive!

Im back, the phone lines where down for awhile since my last post.
It was a freaky snow storm in October.
The leaves where still on the trees.
Making the snow just break the trees in half.
These trees where big too.
All night long I heard them break.
Kinda weird hearing and seeing them break!
But there are still thousands of people with no power on.
I can imagine how they feel! But everything is getting cleaned up now.

Well BB, it'll certainly make me stop and think next time I complain about our 2 or 3 inches of snow we sometimes get over here.

Glad to hear your safe and well and getting back to normal.

It makes me laugh here in the UK. We get 2" of snow and the whole country grinds to a stop. I dread to think if we ever get 22". Glad to hear you are alright BB, does your family live in Buffalo aswell?
