2.25 million homes were without power on Saturday. Thanks to electric company workers coming in from 35 states, 750,000 of that number now have power. We are not one of them.Day 5, no lights.
Not so bad since the humidity is low, the temperature pleasant and the kids are reading books and playing outside with their neighborhood friends.
Bad because laundry is piling up, the kids are out of school the the rest of the week, if not longer, and I'm afraid the house is going to blow up due to the running generator!
Seriously, we are doing well with a gas stove and water heater and running water. So many are without these luxuries and many are without a home.
Lines for fuel snake for miles and few grocery stores have perishables in stock. Restaurants are beginning to open. Slowly, life will go back to normal in our area, but it will be a long time before the folks in the Galveston area experience any sense of normalcy.
