It was SO nice to spend the night with air conditioning.I am very grateful for that. Unfortunately, when I went to my apartment this morning, the power was still not on.They said it could take up to three days to return, but man, I hoped it would be sooner. What are you guys doing?

Wow that's a long time to have to wait for your power to come back. Will you go back and stay at your dads?

Yeah, I drove straight back to my dad’s as soon as I saw my electricity was out. I am not spending one more minute sweating with my face turning red if I don’t have to.

@AmbiePam I'm glad you went back. It's just too hot for anyone to be without a/c

I am sorry it’s not on yet. So inconvenient, there really must be a lot of damage from that terrible storm! But it’s good you can stay there, and be cool. So many there must be having a terrible time without power. Did the storm affect a lot of businesses as well as residential?

There was a lot of cleanup for businesses, but for the most part they had their power by yesterday afternoon. Some of them I don’t know about because many streets are still blocked off. I heard they haven’t been able to remove all the power poles yet, but I’m not sure if that was true. It was so weird, driving to my dad’s, and seeing a metal roof just peeled away from the roof of a barn. Fences were in tatters, and one of my dad’s neighbors had their car totaled because a tree fell on it.

Well, that's not cool...but you like to be at your dads, so I guess that is where you will be until it gets fixed. Is there any estimate as to when you could get it back?

I would much rather be at my house as astonishing as that may sound. I also can run my air as much as I want. AllI know is that the power company said by Wednesday morning everyone should have power. I’m hoping they said Wednesday just to cover their bases.

@AmbiePam Well that's good, At least it isn't something that is going to drag on for days or weeks.

A lot of people lost power here as well, not us thankfully but we have a generator so we would still have AC

We always wanted one, but couldn’t afford it.

I'm still in bed watching YT videos. Waiting for Pretty to leave for her dentist appointment this morning. She's getting a medical taxi to take her to Springfield to the new dentist.
