#we're hotel hopping amd we're LUCKY that thats even an option

Some of you don't realize just how bad the after math of a storm can be.

Obviously people lose houses. But even if you don't shit can be BAD

Someone told me to stop complaining because of 'a few hours of no power' because I said my house was fine

It Will be at least a WEEK of no power for my whole town, and at the moment there's no gas or phone signal

And yeah some people have stoves that don't need power and keep well stocked pantries of things that don't need refrigerating and will get just slightly inconvenienced.

And some people don't even have WATER without power. Some people rely on Well Water, which needs power.

Some people's houses are in tact but let's not forget that some areas that got hit are still in the 90s and 100s (f), it can be DANGEROUS

Some people had all their food in freezers and fridges that's now gone, and no way to cook it In time because they have an electric stove

And remember how I said no gas? They can't just drive to a restaurant with a generator that's open,

And I don't live in an area that got hit by the actual hurricane, just offshoot storms.

And some people aren't getting paid even though their work was closed anyway.

I'm currently hotel hopping out of town because our house is so hot my sister was showing signs of heat exhaustion (heatstroke lite, which can become Heatstroke Heatstroke)

Some people in my town didn't think to fill up on gas before hand, or their cars were ruined by falling trees, or didn't Have One in the first place, there's no phone signal, what if there's an emergency, like Heat Stroke in the 90-100f weather
