1. I assume some of those folks live(d) in the affected areas.
I wonder how they feel about their buddies calling it "overhyped?"

5. They'll never know...
as soon as they can get a generator, get back online, they'll electrocute or asphixiate themselves, or burn their house down putting gas into a running generator.

Darwin ROX!!

6. That's pretty shocking.
I guess none of them are among the 1 million + people evacuated from New Orleans who now have no home to go back to?

They must be looking on the bright side: after October none of those homeless people will be able to screw the credit card companies by declaring bankruptcy. And that's what's really important, after all!
