The streets look so strange now with lights.

We had five generators on the block but gas was hard to find so we were careful how much we used.

There were gas stations with gas but no power and staions with power and no gas.

We had it better then others but still flash lights ruled the night.

We had one house for AC, some of the nights were really hot and sticky.

We made our own ice, that was important.

We had fans which really helped but I am glad the weather has cooled off for those still without power.

I kept a journal during this time, it will be interesting reading in the future.

Little things like movie time everynight was important.

We all pulled together, made new friends on other blocks.

Sometimes good things come from bad.
