they said the power would be out til 10:30 PM, ~8 hours
for some, it may be - for our local neighbourhood, it came back on in 3 hours



we shot down all choppers that looked like might be dropping something   :8)

You guys should be thankfull, on my house it is each 3 days we had a power out for 8 hours each day. And sometime without warning too, so I did not had time to rechare my cellphone. They want me dead by leave me without internet access  :lol (Hyperbolic, I know)

Hi Dave,
Sorry to hear about your power problems.
At least it's dry. Here at that temperature we get to take a free sauna.
Humidity about 85 %. Florida

"THEY" must be me.  :-)  I've been in 112 degree heat in AZ before with what I consider extremely low humidity (but the natives were freaking out over how "high" the humidity was...  Something like 20%).  Was hot, and I drank literally gallons of water throughout the day, but it was tolerable.  I'll take that over 100 degrees in Ohio (usually 90-100% humidity) any day, feels like death as soon as you step outdoors...  The body's evaporative cooling mechanism works pretty well as long as the humidity isn't too high!  :-)

the problem is the older indigents population
quite often, someone dies during extended power outages here, if they occur in summer

THEY, of course,..are the ORWELLIAN, MACHIAVELLIAN, UNCONSCIONABLE...THEY !!!
THEY are the people that....whenever something goes maniacally, conspiratorially wrong,...it's THEM !!!
THEY all drive HEAVILY-ARMORED MERCEDES BENZ's,... :eek

I agree with "They"...  The hotest I have been in was 137 degrees in the day with almost no humidity, as long as we stayed hydrated it was no big deal the body was able to cool itself when you sweat.  Now, living on the East Coast with the Atlantic out your window... 65 degrees feels like crap when there is 85%+ humidity!
