In late Oct. after hurricane Wilma knocked out the power, it was actually nice.
No planes, it was cool, neighbors actually hung out. I loved it. Layed outside and watched shooting stars I never saw before.
But summer is a whole different story. Need ac June to Sept. here or it’s no sleep and complete misery.
Same here, I'm afraid we'd have to head for the mountains because Mr. OG simply cannot stand the heat and I'm only slightly better. Today was 100, yesterday was 100 and the day before that 100.
I understand. I spent the summer of ‘69 at Ft. Benning. Good luck to you.
After hurricane Wilma, I had to get the neighbor guys to help me kill the keg in the kegerator before it went bad too.
That wouldn’t have happened WITH electricity.
It was an interesting 2.5 days w/o power. However, right across the street was out for 2 weeks. I had extension chords going across the street to two houses. One was an old lady. The other had an ext chord from her neighbor behind her also.
Was interesting.
Initially I FREAKED THE H311 out after a giant tree was on my house. But then I heard a chainsaw, w/o thinking, just ran out and started to help. Eventually they cut up the tree on my house w/o me even asking. It was a bleak morning waking up to a 15 y/o black olive tree on your house. I don’t have a chainsaw. Was quite an experience.
