....sort of. We just went 58 hours without water or power at our place. It was pretty nuts.

It really sucked. A ton of branches down in my yard, shit was cray. It was really fucking scary too when it was happening. And there were some crazy ass clouds too, I'll try and find pictures. Also I live about an hour away from OP

That's crazy. We were definitely talking about those ice storms and how lucky we were it wasn't winter. I'm not saying I'm special for going 58 hours with it, but it's definitely a reminder about how we take basic things for granted.

In case you didn't notice your province is as flat as a elementary school girl.

A few years back a hurricane from the gulf came all the way up here to Ohio and went through my town. By the time it got to us it was a cat 1 but since it was so far inland they dont consider it a hurricane anymore. Most places were out of power for about a week, but I was one of the lucky bastards that had power through the whole event. Some of my buddies would come over to my house to charge their phones/laptops etc. Shit was pretty crazy, sent trees and branches flying through the air.

In Canada. Not in the world though, but most likely in Canada. We don't even have hills here.
