Big Power Outage

The recent hurricane took out a lot of trees in the area. That resulted in power lines down all over the places. We lost power Saturday night. It did not get restored until a whopping 5 days later. They closed some of the roads down due to the fallen trees.

We managed to stay cool by opening the windows at night. Flashlights and candles illuminated the way at night. Little Kat and Momoko could not stand the heat in the bedrooms. They slept down on the main level. We used iPhones to act as alarm clocks.

Kit Kat and Little Kat went over their friends' houses to charge up their electronics. Momoko and I did the same at work. The contents of the fridge went bad pretty quickly. We kept the essentials on ice in coolers. The hope was that the freezer contents would last. It was not opened. I fear that the frozen foods will need to be thrown out too.
