Well played, everyone! I wish I could have been here to cheer on Kanoko during the final run-- but, hurricane Irene decided to drop by and knock out our electricity for twenty-one hours.
Even so, I still had a lot of fun with this event. Yay, Team Kanoko! C: Least it wasnt like the hurricane Isabel.

At least ten people were directly killed by the storm, and hundreds more were injured.[14] A total of 1.8 million electrical customers were left without power,[7] with electrical damage totaling $128 million (2003 USD, $150 million 2008 USD).[14] Dominion Virginia Power reported 2,311 broken utility poles, 3,899 snapped crossarms, and 7,363 spans of downed power lines, with 72% of its primary distribution circuits damaged.[15] The passage of the hurricane resulted in an agricultural damage total of about $117 million (2003 USD, $137 million 2008 USD).[14]
In 2003 we were in Portsmouth Virginia and it knocked our power out for two and a half weeks. To top it all off we were poor and didnt have much food or things to use to help us, so we tried to cook hot dogs on candles (was the only thing in the fridge) O.o candles dont cook hot dogs very well. They just make them all black on the outside and cold on the inside.
The biggest thing though was our 1 year old son was afraid of the dark so when the candles ran out and the sun went down he would cry all night long. X.x
