Kansas had a pretty bad storm blow through the southern part of the state Monday night. The guy I share the house with was in Houston so I had the place to myself, cool...or so I thought. I threw a bunch of supplies in a Magnalite pot and headed for the basement. The basement looks like a place where a murder would happen and I'm not very fond of it in the daytime let alone the night time. So there I was all alone in this spooky basement. My supplies consisted of a big cooking pot (to carry the supplies and to poop in if need be), roll of toilet paper, a knife, a battery powered weather radio, 2 radios to keep in contact with the rigs, 3 bottles of water, a box of pop tarts, cell phone, and portable house phone. Everything was cool till the power went out and I realized I had no flashlight. The flashlight on my phone was all I had and the battery was about halfway. Stayed down there in the dark for 2 hours trying to conserve my battery on the phone. IT SUCKED. That old house was creaking and cracking and I swear I heard a voice whispering "get out" like on the Amityville Horror. Power came back on and I had to wait another 20 minutes till we got the all clear. Had a few damaged items on a few rigs like porches and signs flying around. Looks like we dodged the bullet again. By the way, I bought a flashlight.
