Poor baby, try going 2 weeks after a major hurricane.
The first major obstacle was the 17 mile drive from Troy to my house which normally took about 40 minutes during rush hour. That day it took me 4 1/2 hours........When the power goes out so do the traffic lights.
Then of course there was the run on the local Meijers with all the bottled water and soft drinks and canned food stuffs being bought out.
The cool thing about it was on Thursday evening when my neighbors invited me over for Bar-B-Q chicken. As we sat in the garage enjoying the summer evening, many people in the surrounding subdivisions were out strolling since there was no television or radio to keep them inside.
Once darkness arrived, the silence was stunning. No cars on the streets or on the eight lane highway about a half mile from us. I rode my bike down to that highway and it was eerily deserted and dark with no lights........
