I love electricity

So the other day the D.C. area got hit by this crazy ass storm. Even though it only lasted for about an hour the power outages exceeded that of hurricane Isabelle, which was a much longer event. And with it being the middle of summer and all it was hot as fuck inside, it's like houses turn into little ovens when there's no AC being blown through the vents.
Neokai and myself have a hard time falling asleep when it's hot as I'm sure most people do. We ended up trying to sleep in the Acura TL (the seats can lay down almost horizontal!) which wasn't that bad but eventually we drove out to a grocery store (which was being powered by a generator lol) to find some sleep aids to help us through the swampy night. But like an hour after we got back the power just suddenly cut back on! And then all was well.
But I can't help but think about how spoiled we have become as a race from all of our electronic luxuries. It would be very interesting to see what would happen to our civilization if we suddenly lost all comminications/power/etc. I just hope I'm in a good position and prepared in case something like that were to happen. Maybe I'll just get a generator x3.

We got the full blast of the storm. did you hear about the dam in Delhi, Iowa that burst? I live only ten miles from there and the entire northeastern half of my town is underwater D:
