It's amazing how dependent we are on electricity. Water too, I've been without both. Being without water is worse.
Glad yours is back.
glad you made it through fairly unscathed Gil, that it is a bit of a tough spot.
The level of discomfort from heat and high humidity was the most difficult to deal with.
Since I could not work at my business, or anything else requiring a web connection, I spent time doing yard work and storm clean up. Usually when I go out and break a big sweat, I can come back in and cool down. For the last week I would come in from a stint in the outdoors and be in a house as warm and humid as outside. A half hour after coming in, I'm still sweating bullets. I drank a lot of water and Gatorade. After this, it felt almost foreign to be in a cooler and dryer house all day.
So sorry to read this thread Gil, thoughts are with yourself, Simone and family.
I must say, 2020 so far has been a real bastard of a year.
We just got our power back on yesterday after a wild weekend here. Most of the South Coast was evacuated from flooding from the intense rain that we copped over 48 hours. This is the third wild storm that we have had this year after the bushfires on NYE, along with COVID....Jeez Louise please give us a break!
Hope you have a better week now Gil.
P.s after NYE I bought two large Honda gennys and have 300 litres of fuel stored for them. I ain't ever going through something like that again ill prepared. We have used the gennys three times already.
Jeez Louise is right Jim .... oh no, not again, and again & again & again ... etc.
Hope you didn't suffer any flood damage this time around, and all family and friends are fine, with the waters definitely receding!!!
Hi Jim, It has been a tough year all around. I will add that our week without AC and electric still was not equal to the constant barrage of heat you experienced with the fires you fought that devastated your part of the world.
And now another storm and flooding! I hope you and your family get the well deserved break you deserve.
Gil
