MadDewg 07/21/19 1:54:23 PM #9:	A lot of areas in south carolina had no power when hurricane matthew came in 2016. The area I lived at had no power for like, two weeks...everyone's houses was out of power for at least a week minimum. This happened in october though, so despite the vast majority of our power lines getting fucked up by fallen trees, the weather actually felt nice outside, =/ My family was fine....we just used our cars to charge our phones/my older brother and I have 3DSes and vitas that we also charged via the car, and used those for entertainment/keep my young nephews entertained, relied on candles and portable lights for lighting, got through my game informer magazine that gamestop sends me every month yet barely read backlog, ate grilled hotdogs, chicken, or whatever else we had for those two weeks. Just drive around for awhile when we got tired of sitting in the house all day. There was a good deal of people using power generators....including our neighbors across the street, who kept theirs running all hours of the night, lol. We would definitely be investing in a generator just for the AC had something like this happened in the summer, because it gets hot as hell around here during the summer time. --- GTag:XlX Zoro XlX PSN:lMadDogg NNID:xMadDoggx I bet my left nut on bloodstained ritual of the night being awesome...I like my left nut IGA, come through for me. <cite>MadDewg posted [p:924986341] in Your city ...
