Well, we’re spending a third night in a motel room, as power, water and heat remain absent from our house.
The temperature inside our home was somewhere BELOW 40-degrees this afternoon when we went by to check things out.
A friend from church offered to let us use his spare generator, and that would maybe save some food in the freezer. But without water (we’re on a community well with an electric pump), we can’t do much as far as “living” is concerned, so we declined his kind gesture.
So, we wait it out.
It could be another day or two before we get power restored. We’re one of about 600 nearby homes without power due to fallen trees on local power lines. The main transmission lines have been restored, but the infrastructure is still struggling. It’s more important that the power company focuses on larger outages rather than smaller ones. That’s understandable.
We’re thankful that things aren’t worse.
