I was coming to my exit off the highway when the great one started. Now that was crazy. I was stuck in Kingston for a long time. Was there to see a friend at his college. Oddly enough the downtown core with all the bars and food places had their own power. So while devestation reined we were getting drunk at the local club and scarfing down pita pit after.
