Stopped for gas after work here in cincy and from what they are saying the refinerys cannot pump any fuel or refine it as power is out there. Cincy got hit hard still over 600,000 with no power. Word is fuel may not be available at some stations for over a week.
D.O.T Check points. Aparently up around Celina and NW OH the DoT is circumventing DUI NOTICES by just having CURTOSY CHECK POINTS. A DOT officer, a county sherriff and state police are present every time they run them. They ask you three questions, How long you been around here? Where you from? and where are you going? Revinue Enhancement gone nuts! :thumbsdown: Just a heads up. Chuck

Chuck, Things have been crazy here in Lawrenceburg since the storm. There is damage to just about every house in the county. People have been draining the gas stations out of fuel. Half the stations are out of gas and the other ones have long lines. Most people in the county still don't have power, which is making the restaurants packed in town. The track lost alot of tree branches and some minor damage was done, but all in all we are ok. We got everything picked up today.
Some people did'nt fair to well though. Take care, Dave |

Family is doing well, Had some condo damage but all relatives are relativly ok and fared far better than everybody that has trees thru their house or roofs missing. Chuck, also seen the rat race of gas station packing and grocery store emptying. I've always got a two week supply of dry goods. P.S. THere is also NO ICE AVAILABLE ANYWHERE IN CINCY AREA maybe Dave can open up and make some off racing revenue.

Here in Dayton, some traffic lights work. Many don't. Some stations have electricity to pump gas. Some don't. Wal-Mart closed just down the street. So is my Kroger. MANY trees down, and Fricker's burned down.
It's really strange here. My apartment building has power, but the gas station next door, and I mean right next door, has none. The Wal-Mart is closer to me than the distance down the backstretch at Eldora. And, it has no power. The problem might not be the price of gas, but getting it. Lines at those which have it can be frustrating. Topped off my tank tonight in anticipation of a price hike tomorrow. The gas station next door -- closed today -- has its numbers for the price per gallon down. Presume it only means it's going up when their electricity is back on. Heck. I'm still ready for the Four Crown. Jim Morrison

I did let a couple people in tonight to get ice from our machine. It kills me FEMA or nobody is helping anyone with the problems here.

Frickers burned down? Damn; last time I was in Dayton I had a business meeting at Fricker's...seriously. Good luck to you all up there. We at least got power back down here. There are a few parts of our county without power, so the schools are still out, but it's just the outlying areas. Other than that, just some roof damage and trees down. |

If you are waiting for FEMA to help out you may has well forget it they are a good example of why our government is so phucked up.
