I'm just glad I'm not on their grid although very close to Columbus. Will probably see some misplaced niggers looking for ice and gasoline. Last week was a great time for the 21 and over no CCW required to go into effect

There have been multiple threads on this already, including one this morning that hit bump limit GTFO tourist

Anthony Harris
Usually they're immobile, on their backs and unresponsive.
I work for the municipal government, its pretty hairy. We are just passing the buck to AEP and blaming them. I live right in the smack middle of downtown Columbus, so I still have power and will even in a total failure, but damn. Anyone near the Scioto Mile/City Hall area?

Things are good up here in the Land. Hot, but good. Go tribe!
