I remember when my good friend and I were hit by a hurricane about seven years ago.
Our electricity was out for ten afternoons.
Of course, those living in the wealthier areas of town had their electricity back on almost immediately, but, my good friend and I awful folks had to wait. It was horrible. The temperatures stayed around the low to middle nineties, which my good friend and I were used to, but, the humidity was unbearable. And, it felt like that hurricane took all the breeze with it; Because my good friend and I were in the neglected side of town, our drainage system wasn’t as good as it was in the wealthier areas, and, after a few afternoons, the mosquitoes were unbearable! It’s not like my good friend and I could sit in our homes with the doors closed. It was way too hot. And, most of us in that part didn’t have the luxury of screened doors or screened in porches. I really went to my brother’s home in addition to borrowed my infant nephew so that my neighbor would feel disappointing enough to hook us up to his generator in addition to my good friend and I could run our fans, at least. I couldn’t wait for our power to come back on so that my good friend and I could run our air conditioner. It was so humid in addition to the bugs were so awful, I still cringe thinking about it. It took ten long afternoons before our power was restored. My friend and I had to wait for unit to be brought down from up North. Boy, were my good friend and I grateful to have our air conditioning back!
