Storm Days

Well.. it's been a few days since I posted. Wednesday night we had a huge storm. Tornado Warning, the power went out, tons of rain, lots of wind, long time in the hall way with a bunch of guys, hot, sweaty hallway. The emergency lights even went out in our hallway. The sirens of course did not go out. Instead they got stuck "on" and we couldn't get them off for like 2 hours. annoying. We sang songs, did the wave, and talked. This all started at 7:30 pm. We had no power for a long time. In fact, we woke up Thursday and still didn't have power. So, WE HAD NO CLASS! But, we didn't have anything to do either. It's amazing how much we rely on electricity. All of my roommates and me walked to Jimmy John's for lunch. That was good. Then we came back and sat around and played poker for a bit. Then walked down to our island and did our personal devotions. That was a really good time. On our way back we talked to some guys to see if they knew anything about the power. They said it looked like we wouldn't have it for a while. We got back to the dorms and saw some flyers saying that we had school on Friday. We went and charged up all our stuff at someone's apartment. Then we walked to the gas station for supper. Came back and still didn't have power. We watched two movies. Then we went to bed. We woke up this morning and still didn't have power. So, we don't have classes today either! I'm over at our radio station building, which has power and internet. But it's been an exciting few days. People become crazy with no electricity. Basically Wednesday night we were running around the pitch-black halls with one lighter flicking on and off. Matt was acting like an ape man. It was so funny. Well that's all. Later.
