I myself was without power until sunday afternoon, and I live right near the local hospital if that tells you anything. Some people still don't have power.
I literally just got this email from a state congressman informing me about "cooling centers " where residents without power can go to get relief from the heat (it was literally over a hundred degrees yesterday when I got to work if that tells you anything)
Dunno how useful it is, but it's interesting that the story has been basically ignored by the mainstream press that an entire swathe of one of the most populated states isn't a bigger story than it is...
We were getting hit with a severe thunderstorm almost daily for a week. Wild weather.
Most of it missed us, thankfully, but that batch thursday night basically tore everything up. There's still a tree limb partially across the road where I drive home from work. (you have to change lanes, they've got cones set up)
