How Often Do You Lose Your Electricity?

Tweet

We live in an area where we often lose our electricity. It's no fun when the lights go out, but we make the best of it. We have a little fire place in our backyard. We light a fire and sit around it and toast marshmellows and drink ice tea if it's hot enough. Sometimes we fill a baby pool with cold water and stick our feet in it to cool off. We sleep in sleeping bags in the sunroom with all the windows open if it's too hot. How often do you lose your electricty in this heat and what do you do to keep yourself amused or how do you stay comfortable when the lights go out?
