[QUOTE="Waterwings, post: 74141, member: 123"] Here's some more that a friend of mine added: (he went about 10 days w/o power) "1) An ice storm disaster is what is known as a “Special Event” in the local Motel market. This allows them to raise their rates from 60$ per night to $199 a night. 2) Writing to the State Attorney Generals office about being gouged by the motel warrants you a “canned” response. Your insurance agent writing them warrants an immediate request from this office for a copy of your bill! 3) This has to be the first time in my life that I found native Kentuckians worried about not being able to bathe. 4) AT&T has more cell phone users than Verison (sp?). 90% of the local population was without phones. 5) Our local “Disaster Shelter” forgot to include a generator in their disaster planning. 6) Limbs with a diameter of over 24” make a hell of a loud noise when they break. 7) When my Granddaughter has to live without television she says she is living like the 'Amish'."
