Hey Cali! Everything ok after the fires and blackouts?
(No cable fortunatly!)
Yeah, we were ready. Got the propane stove to cook on, hauled frozen food across town to mom’s house so didn’t lose much-couple dairy things. Stocked up on water and had the usual supplies and go bags ready.
I had a bunch of stuff I canned, powdered milk for my covfefe and we cooked and did laundry at my mom’s once or twice.
Pumping stations had no power so there was a water emergency for a while. We were under extreme conservation orders but still able to birdbath. On Monday they called off the water emergency because PG&E delivered a generator for the water system in our town.
The only one in my family who was even slightly inconvenienced was my son. He didn’t lose power but his commute to work was kind of hair raising on a four lane divided highway with gobs of stoplights that didn’t work.
Luckily the power came on not too long after the batteries died on everyone’s alarm systems. People were starting to case homes and the nearby AutoZone was burgled because the alarm crapped out from not having any juice.
It was a lot tamer around here than I thought. Our AO isn’t too bad but we live in a fairly high crime city for the population.
How are you guys doing in your AO?
Is it really cold there?
I heard everyone in the interior was going to have temps way lower than normal for a bit...
