Thanks, I have your number by the phone and was going to call you last night, but the sleepy bug hit..
Hope your power will be back on soon. Here in Atlanta, when we were without power for a week, we learned new innovative ways to keep warm and cook food on top of the gas stove that was meant for the microwave..
After Ivan in Pensacola, my daughter was without power for almost two months...it was more like going back to the wilderness to live.
Candles and a tiny room with lots and lots of blankets will stay tolerable for quite a while, but cold showers are the worst!
When you say, neighbor helping neighbor, that is a good thing, but you must remember, after Ivan, many people lost everything they owned...homes, furniture, clothes, family pictures, cars, boats, everything...they had to move in with friends or family for some as many as a year or more. AND the insurance co. wouldn't settle with many, and still haven't...so to compare the two, a hurricane and an ice storm, is hardly the same. |
