We live in West Virginia and our power has been out for almost 48 hours due to a severe thunderstorm that tore through our area late Friday night!
This is our house after the storm, the next morning! A huge part of our tree fell from the wind gusts of 80mph. Thankfully, nobody got hurt and it did not hit our van like we first thought it did.
It is horrible not having power!
You do not realize how much you depend on electricity until it is gone!
I admit it we are spoiled! We LOVE our central air, televisions, cable, refrigerator, freezer, computer, internet, ....any thing that uses electricity!!!
It is very hard to sleep at night in the humidity and heat. It is actually cooler outside than it is inside our home.
To make the most of it we spend our days anywhere but inside our house!
We've been trying to keep our daughters cool and comfortable during the day as well as entertained.
Yesterday we went to the movies and had a great time! We do NOT normally go to the movies because they charge WAY to much but we made the exception yesterday, we were desperate!
We took the girls to see Brave!
It is a GREAT movie! We all loved it and we kept cool!
Our church still has their electricity so we've been coming here (yes, I am here now at our church) and letting the girls play and renting movies and watching them on the big screen in the auditorium.
We took the girls out for a frozen treat at our favorite Frozen Yogurt store, Sweet Frog!
Cookie, one of their mascots, was there!
Today while driving past Kmart we saw this....
There was nearly a hundred of them parked there. I wanted to run up to them and say FOLLOW ME!!! I pray that they are headed our way! Out of our neighborhood everyone has their power back but us and a few houses behind ours. I hope they rescue us TODAY!!! I am fed up with this. I miss the luxury of my home with electricity!
