We also did not have power for 2 days during that time. I now have battery powered fans and a Coleman cook stove in case of another emergency.
It was Damn HOT!! We didn't have Wi-Fi then so we were out TV, computers, etc. We had our radio though and tons of candles and lantern lights.
Be prepared. It can happen again
