Top 5 Lists inspired by Ike

Top 5 things found in front of a home after Ike:

1. generators

2. grills

3. lawn chairs

4. gas cans

5. toddlers who normally wear nice clothes running around in nothing but a diaper



Top 5 things to do while waiting in line for gas after Ike:

1. put on makeup (b/c there is no light in your house to do it before you leave)

2. pluck your eyebrows

3. plan the rest of your life

4. listen to the radio (it's your only contact with the rest of the world)

5. pray that there is still gas left by the time that you get to the pump


Top 5 things to do when the sun goes down and you have no electricity b/c of Ike:

1. search the house for a flashlight b/c no matter how hard you try to keep all of the flashlights in one specific place there is never one there! (Maybe only those who have young children can relate to this one.)

2. talk about the plan for the next day...Who is going to sit in the 2 hour line for gas? Which meat needs to be grilled before it goes bad?

3. play Yahtzee by flashlight

4. go to sleep early

5. call friends/family on your landline non-portable phone to see who has electricity
