No heat, electricity, or hot water. My DH is now highly motivated to put in a gas water heater. smileys/smile.gif Soooo glad when the power came back on.

The best gift I ever got my hubby was one of those head lamps - pretty cheap and
you can use it to read by, or find your way around. He even uses it when working under the car or taking the dog out at night.

We get it here in AZ when the monsoon storms hit in July-August. No COOLING! Ouch. I feel for you.

The first hurricane we endured while in NC
was Bertha. We had no electricity, water, AC for several days. AND my M-I-L was visiting. I could just picture her going back to MO and telling everyone how we lived in the south and how she wasn't even allowed to flush the toilet, ROFL.
On the upside, we discovered that it was a plus to live in the same power grid as a fire station, hospital and the power company offices. We were always first to get power back after storms.
And who knew that marshmallows toasted over candles could taste so good?

Brrrrrr! Out here gas is cheaper to run than electric...
maybe that might be some motivation. Back when we had our all electric condo we use to multi-task by doing laundry in the evenings so we could run the dryer to help heat the place. It was so mucb cheaper when we moved to a bigger place that used gas.

Tough. Even tougher when you have a little one to think about.

We have a fireplace, so we managed to keep one room warm.
Our bedroom was down to 40 degrees, so we had the baby in bed with us.
