Im sure you have all heard by now that Ocean and Monmouth Counties were hit my a massive coastal storm. The winds were close to 70 miles an hour at some times and the rain was torential. Luckily I was in Barnegat for the day inside and didn't have to go out in the rain, but let me tell you... this was quite a storm.
I came home around 5 O'clock to find out that the power had been out since around 3pm, and that 2 telephone polls were down on Route 9, In front of the Forked River House. I went to Schianos Pizzeria to get some dinner for my family, and the word there was that power would not be restored until the following morning!!! Can you believe that, no power for over 12 hours!!
Once I got home, we basically just sat in the living room with our oil lamps on and though about playing cards. Then I thought to myself, "WAIT A SECOND, I CHARGED MY LAPTOP LAST NIGHT!!" AHA!!! I had found my outlet! As soon as I had realized that my Macbook Pro was charged with a full battery I literally ran to my room, albeit walking into a few walls.... yeah... thats gonna leave a mark!
So here I am, Laying on the couch in my bedroom, two dogs laying at my feet, watching Adventureland on my laptop... Finally, something to curb my insanity driving boredom.
No later than about 3 hours after, the power came back on and all order was restored. That is, except that the fact that the furnace ran for what felt like an eternity.... it turns out my uncle thinks that turning the thermostat past 80 while the power out as going to help.....uhhh no...
So basically, in hindsight, if your power ever goes out... do not touch the thermostat... because It doesnt work...
and finally, do not walk without some form of light, I.E. a cellphone, or a candle because you will run into walls hahahah
Thats it for now folks, talk to you soon!
