That was even more than one month’s energy bills! I was not happy about the loss of power and air conditioning
Thunderstorms can be nice for some people. But for some people, thunderstorms can be a total nightmare! This was the case for me last summer. We ended up having one of the biggest thunderstorms in history. And because of this, our power was out for 2 days! Not to mention, it was very hot out. This also meant no central air conditioning system! Having no central air conditioning system in this heat where I live can be a major problem. Some homes in the area invested in back up energy sources to run their central heating and air conditioning systems in the event of power outages. Our home was not one of those! During this time, we had to take off from our jobs and go to a local hotel in town that had the power back up. This was just so we all had access to quality air conditioning! We could not even run some kind of fan in our home because of no power. This was a real bummer. Just for us all to have air conditioning we had to spend almost 100 dollars per night at this hotel. For the 2 days we were there, that was almost 200 bucks plus food. That was even more than one month’s energy bills! I was not happy about the loss of power and air conditioning. No one we knew had air conditioning to even be able to go stay with them for a few days. That hotel’s air conditioning system was our only choice. When it was all over, I kept talking about how much I hate thunderstorms!
