Sup all.
Well if anyone cares to read, the situation is now officially the worst type of suck I have ever been part of.
I have been helping people out for the past two days. All I ask is for people to let me take the fuel out of their cars if they were not flooded past the wheels. Yes, we are running out of fuel hard core. Today, I saw one gas station, with a line of about 4000 cars. Only 2 pumps working. My F150 is officially off the road. I cannot get it filled up, and it guzzles fuel like a mofo. Although all the fuel I collect is going into it. I figure the X will be out of fuel by Saturday. My Moms camry is out, my pops avalon is at half tank. Brothers car caught a tree, but is drive-able. Full tank of gas in that one, so we are happy. That 4 cyl little putter will run for a month on that tank of gas.
I have trained about 30 people yesterday how to light boilers and water heaters. Trained another 10 or so guys how to clean out water logged boilers and heaters so that the pilot would stay on.
I must have personally lit about 200 pilots yesterday. The streets are getting better, but the carnage is outrageous. My house is still without power or heat.
I would be taking pics, but I really have to conserve whatever power I have on my cell, and honestly, between dodging 2 million people without any traffic lights or cops, and avoiding the mess in the roads, my hands are kind of full.
I came into the office today, only to find out that it just got power, while half of NYC is still without power. Ghost town. it is crazy. I shot across the city in 10 minutes with nearly no lights. Getting to the city was a 3.5 hour ordeal, and I needed to have 3 people in the X to get in. I had 5 by the way. The X is getting abused. I feel bad for it, I promise I will replace all the bushings soon.
Insurance companies seem to have a heart, as peoples claims are getting resolved super quick. My uncle already has a check for the car, and they are finalizing the costs on rebuilding the house. Seagate is still flooded like crazy. The water has receded, but not out of first floors or basements. Generators are becoming paper weights as fuel is really scarce.
I'm off to the docs. I have been putting him off for 3 days, as I am coughing up my lungs now, so I think I might be really sick. Musinex and dayquil are not cutting it anymore.
Talk to you all later.
