Boris and M'DarfienThis is the reason I just dropped like I did last night. I hope you guys continued to RP without me. Entergy reports 7,500 customers are still in the dark from weather-related power outages, down from a high of 11,000 earlier Monday. Southwest Little Rock has been most affected, and many power lines are reported down there. Other outage areas include Pine Bluff, Jacksonville, Hot Springs and Helena-West Helena. First Electric reports 350 customers without power this morning.

haha we dont get snow here in ar we get ice.
Appearently the ice caused downed powerlines all over the place.
If i can find some pics I'll post em but trees that normally stand up straight, their tops were bent over touching the ground.
I'll see if I can find some pics to show everyone.

Come on up to Iowa man.. the land of corn, pigs, eggs... and horrible f'ing weather. In the last two years we've had record snow, record ice, record flooding.. and record bad moods! Ha ha. I am surprised I havent lost power yet this year for any extended period. Last year by this time I think I had 3-4 instances of 8 or more hours.
The only difference is we have snow plows, sand trucks, salt trucks, etc ready to deal with the crap.. I feel for you in Arkansas man. Stay off the roads while the crazy drivers are out!

Arkansas Eh? Born and raised in Southwest L.R. Yeah, we don't really get much in the way of snow in this state......Caveman - that pic looks to be from the North Central part of the state with the foothills and all. As for the salt trucks and crazy drivers.....you have no idea... Haunted - When did you live in L.R. and did you go to school here?

*I am allowed to say that, our ancestral home on one side of the family (at least 4 generations back) is from Arkansas/Mississippi.. we are newly born Iowans*

Salutations! Yeah, we thought you had crashed, so we stayed and chatted for a bit. M'Darfien had to log after a little while. Hope your power stays on through all of the ice storms! =] I was out on the East Coast a few years ago in Vermont for the winter and I saw the damage all that ice can do first hand...

I used to tell my dad he only had me and my brother so he could have some indentured servants. ;D That joker would make us work sun up to sun down, and beyond.
