I been MIA the last couple days due to a freak ice storm. Shit's so bad trees are breaking under the weight of the accumulated ice. The whole fucking town was shutdown yesterday. I got no electricity or heat or anyfuckingthing. I been toughin it out like motherfucking Grizzly Adams. Burning shit in the BBQ grill to keep warm and cook. Their slowly restoring electricity but I dunno when the fuck shit will back to normal. I'm in a motel room tonight (only room I could find in a hundred mile radius). Shit is crazy, hope all you guys are alright too.

damn man thats crazy, hope everything works out. i was wonderin where u been

See this is where battery power really comes in handy. =) Be sure to get some frozen samplage for some icey beats...

Glad you're okay Hema, was wondering why you haven't been in the chats. Get a UninterruptedPowerSupply for your comp so you never lose files in a storm.

good to see your ok man. thats gotta be a bitch though, hope things get back to normal soon.

careful w/ that bbq heating mans - there was a craaaazy ice storm in quebec about 10 years back and tons of older folks died from gas fumes from bbqs.

not like i'm saying griz adams is an old man....i'm just saying....

There was a hurricane here in FL a few months back and this old guy died cause he ran his generator indoors with a window open. Old folks are like that though, always dyin...

I'm careful with what I burn, only plain untreated wood. All the burning happens outside too so the fumes/smoke ain't such an issue. Hopefully this shit won't last much longer.

daaamn! Yo I hope you get your power back soon... That's rough man. Stay up!

here in the Southern Hemisphere - whole different story....searing heat, power failures from people running air-con non-stop, shit is killing me. plus, this is the week i started my new job, so ..... double whammy

the weather is only gonna get crazier too, hot and cold....

the weather here in tx has been wild too but not quite that critical..

70 one day later that night 30...

tx is known for "if you dont like the weather, wait a bit itll change".. we can freeze one day and heatwave the next... right now its been cold like whoah..

i hope shit warms up for your sake hema

where are ya, Hema?

weather still crazy?

wish I could say it too but here in north/western Germany it´s all peace and quiet here....ok temp is about 5°C and a lil bit of snow lying around....but hey it´s Feb. Would be way different if it were July

japan's cold and getting some snow up north but nothing like last year.

hey hema how does this ice storm compare to the one we had in the early nineties? do you remember that one? school was out for like a week, some people were outta power for almost a month. what is it with the mid-south?
