Delays from the mid-Atlantic states
« on: July 02, 2012, 07:24:27 AM »
We had a major storm sweep through the mid-Atlantic states on Friday night. Maryland, Virginia, and DC all got slammed.  There are still many, many people without power.  I would expect, if you're waiting to hear from a seller (or a buyer) from Ebay or here from those states, that you'll probably be waiting a bit to hear from them. With temperatures soaring into the 100's this weekend, it was absolute misery for 2 million of us.  Some power companies are expecting they won't have full grids back online until NEXT weekend!

I got power back late yesterday, but we still don't have internet & cable. Internet service through my phone is spotty at best, and I'm sure it's non-existent for others.  Your patience is appreciated.

Good idea posting this. Ugh, it's so bad. I'm fortunate enough to have power, but I know plenty of people who don't. =(

Thanks babylofty!

I know we where down in southern Ohio this past weekend and they had alot of damage too.  The power was out and they told everyone it would be 7-10 days before it was back on.


So it definitely affected several states.  Hope everyone stayed safe  :hug:

There are power outages here too, it's from the heat wave rather than the storms. People are over-loading the power grid. So even if someone isn't in the mid-Atlantic, the weather is causing problems for many of us in the states!
