Lost Power

United States
September 12, 2024 9:21am CST
We are now without power, and gas been for the last couple of hours. It is just turning daylight, I can still hear the rain falling. Can't tell if there's any wind damage, just now I hear the picking up of the wind, sounds creepy. But so far I can't tell of anything. Just hope we get lights back as soon .

I was without it all day, it was 3:45 when it came back on. I was so glad. I kept calling the light company and giving them my address. Didn't want to take any chances of being without power all night.

@snowy22315 You can hardly do anything. It puts you in a bad way.

@popciclecold That's awhile. It always seems so boring when the power goes out.

I hope your power is up and runnning by now, it's hard to make coffee unless you have a woodburning stove.

No wood burning stove, I just had to tough it out all day. Finally, late this evening it was restored. I was sure glad.

@rebelann Yeah, I'm going to be checking. I need something. I have a grill, that will surely help.

Maybe you can find some kind of 'stove' alternative for days when you don't have power.

Oh no, sounds like you're in a doozy of a storm. Mother Nature is the great equalizer, you can't escape it once it's got a hold on you. Hope it passes quickly! Stay safe...

@popciclecold The credit goes to our government and the electric department.

Do you get power cuts during the rain in your city. We get it too but it's restored once the rain stops.

We also experienced a short time power outage. I almost freak out because I have so many things to do online today.

I read that you were without power for most of the day. I hope it stays on now for you.
