POWER PLAY!

This story began on Sunday, Sept. 14th with a wind storm created from Ike. We lost power (but did have generator that kept the refrigerators running and the fans). Little did we know that it would be 9 days before the lights and air conditioning came on again!
We were also blessed with mild weather and the evenings were delightful. Needless to say we were glad to see the trucks coming on Tuesday the 23rd to fix the power lines and get us back on line again. As I was talking with my daughter on Tuesday afternoon the lights blinked and we were up and running. Both of us were shouting with joy!!!
The outages were around 330,000 and they were working on the last 6,000 on Tuesday. Yeah!!!

I can't imagine not having power for that long. I would have gone nuts! Glad you're up and running again.
