I was trapped in a house with two small children and no electricity.
School's open today so I was able to get back to work and relax.

Just cold, wind, and some rain in Indiana. Other than some adverse mileage, nothing significant happened. 20+ mph winds lead to 50 mpg on the way to work and 35 mpg on the way home.

Guess this falls into the "you know you're an ecomodder" category...when a massive storm hits and your first thought is, "Oh crap, this is going to kill my mileage."

Seriously, though, I hope everyone who's been in the affected areas is safe and sound.

HAHHA. I agree with you dave. That wind KILLED my mileage. I have to head north to go home from work and I got 33mpg into the wind. Rips hair out!. I had to go against the wind twice and with the wind once .

I agree with you guys, but it happened in a different way. I hit 30+ to work, and 27 for home as usual with a cold start in cold weather, but I realized I compensated with better driving rather than always driving the best of my ability.
