The "What time will the power go out at Trad's house?" pool...

[The Tradition]

Okay, here's how this works. Everybody guesses a time and date when the power goes off at my house. The closest guess wins a prize.

Tropical Storm-force winds are expected by 8 PM tomorrow night. The worst weather should be here early Monday morning.

Go.....

Disclaimer: if the power goes off at like 4 a.m. while I'm asleep, the pool is invalidated.

My guess is you will be smoking a cigarette when it happens.

My guess is you will be smoking a cigarette when it happens.

That's a solid bet. 1:1 odds.

 

[The Tradition]

My guess is you will be smoking a cigarette when it happens.

And actually, the lights will go off while trying to light a cigarette, screwing me up.

As you are considering your guess, remember this: Last year, during Hurricane Matthew, we never lost power at Tradition Manor, even though 90-percent of the poors in my county did.

Also, Matthew was the ONLY hurricane I've experienced (out of five) where power remained on.

You won't lose power... The East Coast will go largely unaffected.

Not soon enough if it means your internet goes at the same time.

iPhone hot spot, baby. I'll have about 7 hours of battery on my laptop and I can charge my phone in the car.

As long as the cell phone towers don't go down, I will be reporting from Volusia County, Florida for as long as I can stay awake!

It's all a conspiracy to sell bottled water. You won't lose power

 

[TDJ7]

Trick question. Your power is already out since you're a poor and haven't paid your bill in months.

 

[anon_01irjibf16qqj]

No one cares.

We will all be glad when this is over so you STFU about it.

By "experienced" you mean watched from hundreds of miles away since you clearly don't have a damn clue what you are doing in the run up to this one.

Whoa. Trad's location is already getting strong winds - with the exception of Pensacola the entire state is being socked.

By Wednesday evening Iowa will likely be getting rain from this event.

Good.

 

[goldmom]

Agree, aren't you guys in a bit of a drought?

 

[The Tradition]

Woke up a little while ago. Power is still on and therefore the pool is still on.

 

[hawkbirch]

Agree, aren't you guys in a bit of a drought?

Yes. I don't remember the last time it rained.

Power blinked at 6:07 but didn't stay off. That doesn't count.

 

[The Tradition]

The power has blinked three times in the past two minutes. Currently reporting via my iPhone hot spot as the internet has to reset every time this happens.

 

[Chewback]

It's all a conspiracy to sell bottled water. You won't lose power

Also a conspiracy to make you believe in global warming. Or climate change or whatever. Rush said so.

 

[The Tradition]

More blinking....

You mean Trad's "Alleged" location. I still think he's actually in Montana somewhere, probably close to Brokeback Mountain.
