Our electricity came back on at 1:30 this morning, lucky us! In all, we were without power for 57.5 h0urs (a record for both of us)! It was so nice to hear the air conditioning start up after a pretty warm evening. Our refrigerator and freezer are mostly empty now after throwing away 3 garbage bags of spoiled food, which was sad to do.
We learned a few things during the experience:
- Cell phones don't charge very well in the car unless the car is turned on
- Driving when over 200 traffic lights in the county are out is not fun and should only be done when absolutely necessary
- Any place with power and wifi will be packed immediately after opening for the entire day
- It's nice to have a gas water heater
- It would be nice to have a gas stove/oven
- The basement is cool...but watch out for bugs!
- It takes me over an hour to finish a game of Sudoku (easy level) on the Nook (but this was my first time ever trying to play the game)
- Candles really heat a room up fast!
