During the Summer my pal and I often have pop-up thunderstorms in our area.
The heat & humidity combined, & it is the perfect situation for pop-up thunderstorms and/or tornado watches.
For two hours, our lights were flickering, & I knew my pal and I would eventually lose power. The temperature was in the 90s, & if my pal and I lost power, my pal and I would have no air conditioner. My spouse had not had our generator repair earlier this summer, & he was half afraid to use it. At the end of last summer, the generator was sputtering & doing gas out, which was not a wonderful thing, but luckily, my pal and I didn’t need to use the generator all last summer. This Summer was going to be different. My friend and I had already lost power twice, however it came on within an hour & my pal and I didn’t easily miss the air conditioner unit. If our power when out on this morning, it would really be out the entire evening. Not only would my pal and I have to go separate from air conditioner, however my spouse’s oxygen & BiPAP would not be working. I was worrying more about him with his oxygen BiPAP, after that I was about my asthma & not having air conditioner. At the first sign of power being offer more than an hour, my spouse called a hotel that was within a few miles of home. When they told him they only had one vacant room, he told him to save it & my pal and I would be there within an hour. My friend and I packed up his CPAP & portable oxygen, & headed to the hotel, hoping their air conditioner would continue working.
