Ugh. Saw a helicopter flying over today assessing damage. Then some energy company contractor was in the driveway across the street and he said not to expect power anytime soon.

They haven't touched a powerline in my area yet. They were working on a HUGE tree that came down across a road on one side of my block. I guess that is the M.O., make all the roads drivable, then worry about the lines. I saw bucket trucks all over today.





I'm hoping we get power back by Monday. I need to earn some money or I'm going to have to resort to selling my body. I'll have to charge by the pound, cause if I charge by the inch, it'll take me all week to afford a pack of smokes.

I've heard of some people trapped on their streets, because they got power lines and trees down on both ends. I have driven over power lines on a couple roads, but it scares the shit out of me.

Saw a video of a tree in Brooklyn bursting into flames when they flipped the power on in that neighborhood (power line down on it). Article said there were a few basement fires started too. I guess the panels were wet and blew the fuck up.

I heard that FEMA will be flying in crews and equipment from anywhere too far to drive.
