Anonymous Coward User ID: 78418920 United States 08/04/2020 10:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm about 40 minutes outside NYC, and haven't had electricity since the storm came through early this afternoon. Fortunately, I bought a generator a few months ago, anticipating virus pandemic shortages. I also bought 4 5 gallon gas cans from Home Depot a few weeks ago, and filled them up tonight, in anticipation of fuel lines tomorrow. All my extra phone and flashlight batteries are charged. Fridge/freezer is cold, because of the generator. Lost a bunch of HUGE tree limbs, but it's all good! |

Deplorable Zenobia
User ID: 8648552 United States 08/04/2020 11:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK, please forgive if anyone has posted this survival tip. In the event of loss of power and it's blazing hot/humid, here ya' go. Get as large a fan you can that is battery operated. Soak a t-shirt or a towel in ice water (go get a bag of ice for kitchen sink or bath tub). Drape towel over the fan and close up that room w/ you in it. And that's how we survived few decades ago when Fran swept thru' central NC and we didn't power back on for nearly 3 wks (brutal in Sept). Also, it really goes a long way to pick up an extra 6 pack of Coke, water, beer to hand to the linemen crews working on your block to restore power. And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking. That is what I call 'sustained incoherence.' ...David Bohm “How, O Zenobia, hast thou dared to insult Roman emperors?” ...Aurelian, 44th Emperor of the Roman Empire |

User ID: 73265267 United States 08/04/2020 11:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is like dead air here, hard to eat food it just lays on your stomach and makes you sick feeling. I have pics sent to me by phone from my son he was under this thing like some kind of vortex that was like pulling upward through a hole in it what was below it. Looked like some kind of torando trying to form, everything is still with a high humidity and the pressure is enormous. The most precious things are the simple things in life, always present in the simplest of minds. |
