I Want Power!

I've been without electricity since Friday after a quick yet damaging storm blew through the area two days ago.  Temperatures are in the upper 90s and I'm jealous of the people across the street who never lost power.  Add in the neighbor with the annoying, super-loud, gas-powered generator, finding a place to keep the contents of my refrigerator and walking the house by flashlight at night...it's been a frustrating time.

 "Power 103" KCDD is a Rhythmic Contemporary station licensed to Hamlin, Texas.

"Power 94.3" WZKB was an Oldies/Adult Contemporary station licensed to Wallace, North Carolina circa 2001.  They currently carry a Spanish Religious format.
