Ice Storm...where were you ?
Posted: Fri August 15, 2003 04:46 AM UTC
Maybe I'm crazy but reading the news tonight, i tought how it's funny that all of North East America is affected by the blackout but not Quebec !

For once, the system is holding in Quebec while everything crashes around it.

Quite a change from that disastrous Ice Storm which shut off most of Southern Quebec while it was dead cold outside...

Where were you back then ? I was with friends, 12 in a small appartment, hoping that it wouldn't lose power too...

It was good to me.

I was a sales and marketing manager for a telecom company, I distributed fitness magasines, organised events and occasionnaly (what a deal I had!) showed up at Aventure electronique to work a bit..
;)

My mobile phone and pager was ALWAYS buzzin!

And then suddenly...it all stopped....

We went to my aunts house a few blocks down who had 2 fireplaces on the main floor, so we we're hot and the kitchen was a gas one. So we relaxed, ate well, and drank ourselves drunk out of our minds for 2 weeks.
:D

Our estate in Hemmingford was blacked-ou for almost 2 months thought which was scary because of the water lines..
:(

Oh well, everybody's turn!!
I lost power for 8 days, had to change place 3 times, each time I would move somewhere, they would loose power as well.

Took a while to come back, and it seem that whever there was a little wind after, the system was fragile and we were the first to loose it again.

Hope you had fun all 12!
Pierre
