Me and Agnates stalled at Makna forest, it's that huge jungle environment. I stopped because I wanted to get the wii back on the SDTV to appreciate the lovely looking environment. I'm 26 hours in.

Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut?

This is why you need to get handhelds and charge the batteries before a storm hits.

We got a big blizzard last winter, 20 something inches of heavy snow and intense wind and nobody lost power. Now a tropical storm does this....

The last few days have not been fun.

That's not really the case in the Northeast. The ground up there is tough to dig in. It's very very rocky soil. So it's easier to just keep them above ground.

DAmn that sucks edge, you should have had power back days ago. While the stormitself was weak it did bring tons of flooding, Vermont is under water. So that aspect was bad but in terms of wind damage it probably knocked down a few trees and crap.
