You should always have back-up solutions for power. I have a small battery + solar set-up that can power my fridge and some other things as well as my well pump. I have a solar + hand-crack radio that also acts as a USB charger.
If all else fails, go to a library maybe?
Depending where OP lives and where the library is, they might have the same issues.
Yeah, just throwing things out there. I rode out hurricane Ike in Houston and my block had no power for 13 days, so I have experience in that realm
Can you get a Styrofoam cooler and a bag of ice? Battery powered fan too if you can? Make yourself a cheap swamp cooler.
It sucks though, I hope they get your power going soon my friend.
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
