Bad storm,no power for 4 days,and heat index of 117!

Hi Everyone,whats up? Its been a few days since I've posted

Well,this past Wednesday night we got a real wicked storm and we lost power all over St Louis and other parts of Missouri,and some parts in Illinios as well.

The first 2 nights were pure hell because it was so hot here I slept with a soaking wet towel to try to keep cool,didn't work all great though
Right after the storm we couldn't drink the water here at all because it was contaminated. So we had to boil the water first before we could drink it or give it to our pets even.

Illinois got hit worse than we did and they don't have power back up there yet,from what I'm hearing and some here in Missouri are still without power and it may not all be restored until Wednesday or Thursday.

Its been crazy here since this happened! There are people sleeping in their cars or on their porches,and traffic is so heavy here because everyone who is without electricity still are driving around because they don't want to be in their houses.

Sorry to hear that, Julie. I hope it gets better for ya soon. We had a massive amount of rain here today. The streets ditches are still flooded. Nothing like what you have to deal with, though.

oh.....hope life gets restored to normal soon.......

Thanks Chris and bilal

My electricity finally came back on Sunday sometime,I wasn't home so not sure when it came back.
There are still a lot of people who don't have it back yet though. St Louis has been been crazy! People were fighting over water because they had it turned off for the first day or 2 due to contamination.

Every hotel within 100 miles from St Louis has been soldout ever since the storm and the electricians working on trying to get the power back just checked in to the hotel I work at, and they are working 16-24 hour days trying to get it all restored.

Wow, Julie. I'm sorry for all your trouble, but I'm glad to hear you are OK! I hope things get back to normal for you soon. Man, the intense weather the last few weeks has been nuts.
