A taste of third world living

[texanwitch]

5. Lived that after Hurricane Ike came to visit the Greater Houston area.

We were lucky that it was September already but it was still hot.

It took almost 3 weeks for everyone to get their power back.

We lived for 2 weeks without power.

I will never forget walking around Kroger's looking for something to buy, just ice to keep things cold.

Driving was fun, lntersections all 4 way stops.

Everything pitch black without street lights, that is why I have lots of solar yards lights now.

Life just comes to a halt for awhile.

I really don't know what to tell you.

I do feel for what y'all going thru this, hot and sticky and no way to cool off.

It is amazing how dark it gets without the street lights, pitch black.

I am worried about those 100 plus temps.

Hope the power comes back soon.

If you have ice and zip lock bags make a cooling pillow and but it behind your neck.

It will help cool your blood, and make your cooler.

Stay safe.
