I still remember being a month without power. Spent my nights in bars playing cards mostly. Went to Walmart to play video game demos. We got creative

I really do look back on it somewhat fondly because we pushed through and it was a good story. Of course, many people were really hurt or killed. But it was wild

I remember driving around that evening and seeing all the trees down and power lines so low you could barely pass under them, it was a trip, pretty sure I still have pictures uploaded to the cloud of it lol
