NEWS: 65,000 without power

OHIO

65,000 people are still left powerless in Ohio. Energy companies and the government are scrambling to restore power to everyone in Ohio after a massive wind storm left many families without power.

For three days, my family was left without power. The only contact I had was to reach them on their cell phones. They managed to wait out the three days without power, but there are plenty of other families going on an entire week without power.

Just imagine what life is like without power.

No school (about the only plus)
No phone (except a cell which only lasts as long as its charge)
No food (maybe chips, but you can't last long on just those)
No warm water (why even shower?)
No TV (un-american)
No news (better hope you're on a paper route)
No reading this blog (WHATEVER WILL YOU DO?!?!)

Life wouldn't be a ton of fun...

winds, trees, and electrical wires do not mix well together. Some Miami University students protested that classes resumed on Tue or Wed with or without power. I hope that your Bobcat student body is a little more resilliant.
