Lies, but I almost did. Dad thought a kerosene lantern would make a good reading light a few days back.

Ike really screwed my area up. US Army corp of engineers is nothing but duct tape-wielding megsicans in BDUs, but I'm able to leech power off a generator and communicate over the now-resurrected trunk lines. I'll be busy replacing the sheet rock in my house, but that's cool because I won't be seeing work or college until at least Wednesday.

Every other home in my area has sustained enough damage to be completely uninhabitable for around a year. The sewage pumps are without power; there are periodic shit geysers in the streets from some asinine back pressure problem, and the tap water is infected.

The looting was so worth staying for though, it's the most liberating feeling ever, as if you were in some kind of communist utopia in shitgeyser-no-power-land.

haha wow.
my area is fine, well the neighborhoods.

it seems like the businesses around here got pretty fucked and going down 45 was so weird the day after the hurricane.
felt like a movie, was ridiculous.

i didn't go looting though.
pretty sure with half of my family being OFFICERS OF THE LAW, i don't think i can.

like, get away with it.

Haha, It was actually morally justified so far as I went. I wasn't robbing houses, I was just swarming perishables and basic supplies from the closed up shopping centers after the power exploded and the wind died down. Lots of members of the community there. I actually think it was one of the local cops that helped me heave a soggy charcoal bag onto my cart.

There was no anger or competition either, just this big circle-jerk frenzy. People didn't start getting angry until things restructured and people started having to wait in line for stuff.

Oh, you mean you were "finding" things, not looting.
You're white, you need to remember the terms that relate to your skin color.

Are you at your house or no? I just got power today.

I was "finding things" at a former place of "buying things". I thought this was categorized as looting. Is looting only when you take things from homes, or things that are taken only to be resold or used at a less drastic time?

And yeah, I'm at my house. It's a bit humid, but it's getting cooler. We have wet walls and stone floors, so it's a big help with the heat.

You're only looting if you're black.
Or not white.
I think if you were like middle eastern, you'd be considered gathering materials for bombs.

Lol awesome, I have immunity.

The first few days were the best. thousands of pounds of good meat and awesome were in danger of spoiling, it was one endless BBQ. People are still hoarding multiple cases of beer from the leftovers.

Oh man, you should see the power poles around here. They're all patched up ugly-style, with haphazard 2x4 splints and twine on the transformer couplings.

Let's move right back into the path of more hurricanes and spend tens/hundreds of millions of dollars on rebuilding shit that'll get ripped down in another year!
