Had no power for 3 days Snow storm update
13 years ago
General
Okay well
We're some of the few people that have gotten power back
We haven't had power for 3 days, along with another 20,000 that don't have power in our town.
I live in Oklahoma, and we got 17 inches of snow, and 6 foot drifts all over, while this does not seem that much to some, but my town is not used to or built to have that much snowfall.
Sooooooo....
Two days ago we lost power in the middle of the night, my dad was stranded at work because of the snow and no-one decided to show up for work that night.
Me and my mom just decided we'd go to bed instead of trying to fight the dark, we also both have the flu, so we decided to rest.
The next morning (Yesterday) we woke up and it was SOOOO freezing it was insane. Theen we were hungry so I decided I'd go out to the kitchen and make some food, ONLY TO FIND OUT, our stove has an electric pump to start the oven, same with the electric ignition in our heater, so no heat, and no food.
I decided I'd try and light the top of the stove with a lighter, which worked, so I made some food then we just sat there and froze until my dad was finally sent home and he brought Mc Donalds, and the news that 20,000 people in our town don't have power like us
So we sat through the night all three of us trying to sleep through the freezing temperature in our house,
and we just slept, until day once more.
TODAY.....
My mom woke up and started trying to make coffee with the burner and warm up.
I came out and sat down and waited........................AND THE POWER CAME BACK ON!
OG&E which is our power company here decided that it would at least take another 2 days
(Which here there REEEEEALLLY lazy here e_e so I just assumed that it would take at least a week)
But yeah we got power.... and im starving.. so I want something to eat dammit
BUY ME RIBS.
Its been awful, huh? Just terrible,
Good luck to those you know who are still without it, be safe!
God it has been the last time it was like this was the ice storm and that was horrid ;;. On the bright side it looks nice and sunny outside so maybe it will all melt away to make it easier to get power on to those who need it ( hopefully the mud won't hinder them that much.). I know where my grandma lives she still doesn't have power and nither does my aunt.
Yeah, you know our weather here is crazy I don't need to tell you that xDD lol
I hope so! Good luck your Grandma and Aunt! ;o; <3
