And pissed with a good reason. When I read through the mission (at least the part I missed)
I read the statement that said you left it in his leg...

I'm gonna request that we start doing missions a little earlier due to school. Missions at 6:30 or 7:30 would be great.

Mus agree with Ayra that 6-10 AM is unreasonable. 11 is pushing it, but I could force myself to wake up in time. 12 is when we start getting into times I can consistantly make. 1 I'll definitly make unless I can't fall asleep naturally. 2 and later is fine with me.
The only reasson I'm up so early is because I need to do something in the morning.

I probably wont make anything from saturday until perhaps monday or tuesday, or maybe even wednesday (!), and LH might be similar because of Hurricane Irene coming up the east coast right now. Power will almost certainly be knocked out, and wont be restored until after the storm ends. LH might be a little different, but I still doubt either of us will make anything this weekend. My dads even trying to get us to evacuate, although im vehemently resisting that.
Feel free to correct me LH, but I think your right next to the water arent you? if so, you might end up evacuating as well, even if it is a cliff.

We're on the James River, which is a ways inland. Also, our house is built into a hill and was designed by my US Army grandfather to survive WW3. We sat through Isabel in the Library(downstairs floor, AKA the part in the hill) because all the walls down here are solid brick and concrete, with giant pilings going down into the earth to keep the house stable.
We're also seventy feet from the top of the cliff . . . and that's running straight downhill. The cliff itself is another 100 feet, most likely. I think we'll be fine, but power may go out for up to 3 weeks. It was out for about that in Isabel, but we have a generator so I may be able to log on here and there.

3 weeks??? Jeez your isolated. I was predicting more for a matter of days. Power BETTER not be out for 3 weeks. I dont fancy the idea of taking baths before school in the bay near my house.

Well, we have well water in our town - it runs even without power. We also have a lot of candles and that generator I mentioned Living an hour from any major city means you have to be Crazy Prepared.

Not sure if you lost power yesterday or something else happened, but if it is possible, could we try one last mission before Irene hits?

Irene has already hit us. It'll be pounding hard within the hour.

Not sure about VA, but Delaware wasnt hit too hard, by the storm itself anyway. The edges of the storm did happen to spawn a tornado that ripped some roofs off and killed 6 people in lewes (near rehoboth beach), which is very sad of course, but other than that, it was a normal thunderstorm with slightly stronger than average winds. Most people I have talked to even retained their power, and those who did lose it, only lost it for around 16 hours.
Btw, LH. I might as well have stayed at my own house instead of going down the street to my grandparents. They lost power, yet our empty house would have had power the whole time. Minimal flooding. Minimal tree branches falling down.
However, I heard it was much worse down south, NC in particular, and my power had gone out before VA was hit in force, so i have no idea how hard LH was hit. From what they were saying yesterday evening on the news, the storm should be over New York right now, so the worst seems to have passed.

Two trees down, no power, minimal flooding. We had to duct tape the doors shut because the rain was being pounded clean through the weathersealing, and we spent all Friday digging trenches to divert the rain from the front porch. If we hadn't, then we'd have faced a lot of flooding on the front side. No power, almost no chance of it returning before next weekend. One car totaled.
I'm a little embarrassed I even compared this thing to Isabel. Saying Irene was like Isabel is an insult to Isabel.
Anyway, we're on generator/laptop power ATM, and only in spurts, so I will be doing nothing until power's back. It was out for 3 weeks after Isabel, so count on 1-2 this time.
