Ever since I was a young child growing up in the midwest, I’ve been terrified of dire weather.
Occasionally the people I was with and I had Wintertide snowstorms that would knock out the power plus make us stranded in our homes out in the rural countryside.
Once the people I was with and I got to Spring every year, that’s when tornado season would kick into high gear. I remember coming home from university on the bus 1 afternoon plus seeing the sky turn green. Often tornado-bearing storm clouds would color the light shining through an otherworldly green hue. Occasionally the people I was with and I would hear the tornado sirens, other times it was merely a false alarm. But on more than 1 option the people I was with and I all ran into the basement to take cover in the event of 1 destroying the beach house while we’re standing around plus standing in it. We had a terrible tornado scare Last week at 6am in the afternoon. The afternoonlight hadn’t risen yet but the emergency alert alarms on our phones were sounding. Thankfully our beach house wasn’t hit by a tornado, but the people I was with and I lost our power plus now it’s warm from a lack of air conditioner. Even though it’s the end of the summer time here, rapidly increasing temperatures in the beach house are up to 85 degrees plus the people I was with and I are all covered in sweat. I wish I had a storm generator plus a small portable air conditioner for a situation like this. It wouldn’t completely replace the central air conditioner, but it would at least knock the temperature down a few degrees plus make the indoor environment more survivable. I can’t wait for the power to be restored so I can turn the air conditioner on again plus get the indoor climate cool plus dry.
