💬 OT So its raining right now.....

[Ron Vogel]

Amazon locked the doors, I already punched out and they wouldn’t let anyone leave. Of course my teen didn’t answer his phone or texts. I got home, and he left the garage door open through the whole thing.
Only damage we had though

 

[Blood on Blood]

Who is calling their insurance and getting a new roof?

 

[01Cobra]

Meh.

 

[FESTER665]

Powers been out for hours which blows chunks....

outdoor dog bed was in neighbors yard but other than that it’s been uneventful.

just need ComEd to get going and I’ll be good

This was us for most of the day...

I think this power outage is going to last for a good long while. The outage map is littered hundreds of thousands without power. Not one has an eta for restore that I clicked on. If it’s still out in the morning going to have to locate a generator to save the freezer of food.

 

[ChrisRac]

Sucks it turned out to be nothing. Was really pullin’ for you guys

My Mom just texted that her power is back up and going now, hopefully they’re working in the area and make their way over here next.

 

[boostedguy05]

Ours never went out. Maybe I should go check on my parents place

 

[FESTER665]

Gotta keep the phone charged! ?

 

[DEEZUZ]

Isn't it crazy that a jump pack can start 10 cars but charge a phone 2x?

 

[10sec]

Ha - you are probably my neighbor

Where you at?

 

[Blood on Blood]

Where you at?

Bordering Naperville, short drive to Ace Hardware

Ha, I'm like 2 miles or so away from there. Nice area.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Still out of power out here too. Been out since about 315.

At least it's nice outside

Also meteor shower time, so if it clears up and power is still out... darker skies!

 

[GLADIATOR]

So my neighbor’s roof vent flew into my house and damaged my siding.

 

[smug]

96 mph winds around st John /cedar lake


DEEZUZ @N20GT you bro's aight?

coming home from work I turned to head East on 231 and its black behind me. Like oh shit. Almost home and floating things are flying out of the lake across the road. We took a walk with the dogs tonight and we did not see much damage??‍

 

[DEEZUZ]

Menards grade carpentry starts to fumble

 

[JeffsLightning]

Well you now have a spare roof vent just in case.

My neighbors little hacienda was in my yard all destroyed at the other house.

 

[Yaj Yak]

My powers out and has been since four ish.

The comed stuff says DUNNNNOOOOO

I put oil in my home depot special buy of the day gen I bought four years ago and started it for the first time. Currently running the fridge, Deep freezer, bottle warmer when needed, phone charger, bedroom TV, router and modem... Fucking incredible how much I (and likely you, lol) take electricity for granted

 

[Yaj Yak]

This tree fucked shit up majorly for my area. I basically am on an island with one road connecting to mainland on each side... Shit came down with a vengeance

 

[blakbearddelite]

We lost power for maybe 30-40 minutes, not too bad.

Totally. We have 2 fridges, shitter pump, 3 fans and phone charger going. I had server rack back up but Comcast is down do it doesn't really matter.

Got the Ryobi radio running entertainment duty and phone charging station... Thing last forever on the 4 ah batteries and I have 5 fully charged ones

Also just finished my first full tank of gas on the generator, it was actually left over from last time I used it and it fired right up.
