We just lost our electricity.

I am on the Gulf coast of Florida. With Harvey in the Gulf it has rained here non stop for two days. It is supposed to continue until 8 p.m. tomorrow. The electric company says 3 hour's to get our power back on.

My heart goes out to yuo and others in and around Harvey and such- It may intensify I hear and become hurricane again if it hits the gulf and gets warm water form it.

I was without power and (and would have been water as well l but we had a pump) for 7 days back in 1974 during on East Coast Blizzard. I was ion my late teens and we survived pretty easily .

We had an old coal stove we cooked on. We also had a old coal pot belly stove we used for heat. We were fortunate. The light form those two we read by. Restrooms issues were never as issue.

I do hope you get through this without too much more happening.
