Just Not Good

Well, it’s 1:15pm, and the power is still not on at my place or my dad’s. I went to church, and the scenery on the way there was eye opening. We had 95mph wind last night, and it looks like it. My picture is of only part of my dad’s yard; the other side of the yard has no fence. People have their chainsaws out, cutting up the branches and trees that are strewn everywhere. I just really hope the electricity gets going. I don’t know how much longer my power banks are going to last. Yes, I charged one at church, but that was just for an hour. I’d like to be able to keep my phone charged. Right now, I’ve got an ice cold water I stopped for after I filled up my gas tank. I’m keeping it right up on my chest to keep myself from being overwhelmed. You know how badly I do in extreme heat and humidity. What are you guys up to?

Everything is okay here. We may get a thunderstorm. From what you wrote and the above picture you posted, do you think your area may have gotten a mini tornado?

Wow on your storm and your Dad's yard. I hope you get power super soon. My household is resting up from fireworks that kept making noise until nearly 2 am.

You may have to get in that pool whether you want to or not. It is threatening to storm big time here, but I did get out Thank God. I was going stir crazy. It might pass us by though. It doesn't seem as dark as it was a few minutes ago. Stay safe there! Maybe you can buy a bag of ice that hasn't melted and put it in Sade's water.

It really is a mess, I am so sorry. But hopefully they will get everything cleaned up and get that hydro back on. I hope that you can find a way to survive the heat and humidity.

If you want, you can come here. Our power didn't go out last night so it's still 74F in the house. We bought food yesterday so the fridge and freezers are full. I KNOW our living room couch is comfy to sleep on, too. I just ate the last of the fresh strawberries but there are frozen ones in the little freezer... You can go through everything and see what sounds good to you to eat.

Finishing up online and being terrified by thunder, I hope the power comes on soon,
