Wow- Capri- you were listening to WFOS- the station run by the City of Chesapeake Public Schools- I did a little radio there many moons ago. Cool little station. Yep, Mr. Jim's does do wonderful sandwiches. My folks (other side of the City of Cheasapeake) fared pretty well- downed limbs, etc. & the water got up to the back steps, but no losses. My neighborhood in Norfolk (Ghent) lost some big trees & I was w/out power until Sunday morning. I had gas, so we (storm refugee houseguests & I) ate as much of everything in the fridge/freezer as possible, and tucked into the grog ration, making the best of an otherwise unpleasant situation. I work for a restaurant chain (I'm the corporate marketing guy) and we worked like stevedores getting everybody (one-by-one) up & running when we got power back. Back-to-back 14+ hour days. Friday I wore a plastic bag for 4 hours, scrubbing, etc. I for one am all for not having any more of these. Show of hands?
