No Power, No Class


So here we go...there was an exciting happening at Miami University last night... As Ike hit us, there are currently still people without Power, fortunately Miami U has been on Power since Monday due to generators, and by now is running on power by Duke again... But yesterday night, there were still people without power and Miami University announced that there was going to be class on tuesday... see a couple of pictures, where students for once stick together... but on the other hand you have got to consider that we all pay for our education... (but then there were people without Power for more than 36 hours... ) And I still know people that as of now still have no Power... Just imagine living without a hot shower, without a stove (so no hot food) pretty much nothing...people charge their cell phones in university buildings, but apparently by tomorrow, 85 % of Ohio should be back on Power...
You can't believe how many police cars, and officers where at the presidents house... there were all these students going nuts...if you want to get a feeling for it...I posted some pictures...and you will have to go to youtube and google riot at Miami Ohio ;) you will find some decent videos, just to show what was going on... I left when it started to be too much and people started to get violent... I saw 4-6 people get arrested...(for what? not having class? hihi just skip ^^)
So enjoy...and just so you know...Oxford Police department and MU PD was not enough to take care of the students... there where sheriffs from butler county and police from hamilton comming in...I guess we were afraid...

Ike Came and gave us a visit

Here we are again... Kind of fast this time, I have to agree... ;) But apparently Ike came and visited Ohio, which caused a power outage in Southwest Ohio, from Cincinnati up to Cleveland... Because of such high winds, as you can see on the pictures, there are threes that came down everywhere, and hanging in the cables...supposed to give us power...So right now Miami is running on generators which means that technically Oxford still has no Power...Everybody living off campus has no Power and is really unable to do a lot of things as I found out yesterday, when I had for approximately 8 hours no Power... So I just wanted to keep you updated and tell everybody that nothing happend, and that we are all fine... At Miami about 105 trees fell or are seriously damaged...We had no class today, but they will resume tomorrow... (I only have one class so it won't do a whole lot to me...but today I should have had 5 classes so lucky me...) All of these pictures were taken sunday night...we had to wait until the winds calmed down a little until we went for a walk, because there was nothing else today than play jungle speed or cards...and after a couple of hours that is really boring and...at night when it starts to get dark outside you can't see anything...
So enjoy my view of Ike...which seriously is not as bad as the one in texas, but then I was never out of Power that long...so just imagine what you can't do when there's no power... hehe
greetings to everybody! Take good care of yourselves ;)
Hugs and Greetings
Lucky ;)
