Re: Moving Forward
10.5 days without power!
Lost power on the 9th just around noon as the hurricane passed by.
No power, no AC, no lights, no stove/microwave/toaster oven, no hot water, no TV, no computer, no modem, no internet.
Florida. Summer. Hot. Humid. Sat around in the dark and sweated. Didn't sleep well, didn't eat much.
Couldn't go anywhere since most places were also without power.
For a few days, gas was scarce, because most gas stations didn't have power, and so couldn't pump gas. The few that either had power or emergency generators had long lines and then ran out of gas. Tried getting by on ice, but so was everyone else, and ice quickly sold out.
Finally got power back about 8:30 last night.
So now we're cleaning up the mess.
It'll probably be another day or two before I get caught up on all my games.
My last post was from a friend's workplace. They managed to have power the whole time, because they were on the evacuation route, plus one of the nearby buildings was an evacuation shelter.
