we could get out of our driveway during Fran.......They came by in a "pick up" and we were so desperate we didn't do the whole deal of asking "Are you Insured" to get an insurance waver......We were Desperate...I'm telling you...it was at that point 8 days without power or media in 90+ degree heat......and we didn't care if they sued us if they were hurt....we wanted the damn tres out of our driveway so we could get the hell out of the house and feel normal again!

Without those "independent crews" from "out of state" we would have been in big trouble! Our neighbors are Repugs......if you died in the middle of the street they would let the scavengers eat you.....Me, Myself and I.....is their motto!

People on our street who had power (some areas had it and others didn't in the 10 days I was without) people who had power ignored us.......and we could see the lights in their homes as they watched TV with their air-conditioning on.......and all the comforts of home......while we sat in the dark.....with minimal food....nothing but a battery radio....and sweating without even a fan.

Kind of turned me off.....but then, that's what happens in a Repug neighborhood. Each man for themselves.

I GOT MINE!......Now YOU Get YOURS!"

That's what I remember of our last NC Hurricane........
