There are lots of ways, just about every cellphone you buy new these days can have internet

Also Libraries, schools.. have it.

Also "No Power" usually means no public electrical service. They still may be running generators, etc for power in the meantime.
Power may be out, but phones may still work.. it can be crazy at times.

So, I can to use the computer........... but, have to come back to work in order to do so.

thx zep, it was an adventure , candle power and grillin on the pit, what more could u ask for, gald every one checking in and letting us know they r good. it was a monster of a storm. marooned pirate till today lol.

[Scottish]

Glad to hear that almost all of our POFers made it through the storm. Looking at the damage on TV, we are sure glad yall were not in the Galveston area. Looks bad for these people. looking forward to hearing from the members that rode the storm out.

Again, glad you guys are alright and hopefully life can get back to normal for you soon.

Let's see, this is now day <counting on fingers> nine???? Without power......

The electric company had been saying it would be by today.

And they today came.

Now they are saying it MIGHT be Wednesday, or Thursday...... sounds like they aren't too sure of anything at this point.

This is currently scoring a zero point zero on a ten point fun scale.

[Sarah]

OUCH
Sorry Tuefenhandel. At least it's making going to work a little less unbearable

[davy redflint]
