WooHoo!!! I've got electricity!

Just waiting for the water heater to do its thing. It'll be my first hot shower in my own home since Michael hit. My neighbors across the street aren't as lucky so I told them they are welcome to take a hot shower here and use the washer/dryer.

And sharing with your neighbor is good karma. Giving is a good thing. Now on to more progress in your recovery for you both.

it when it's gone!

We were out of electricity for 3 months after Hurricane Iniki on Kauai in '92.

So happy for you and I bet your neighbor is, too!

It was during hurricane Irma last year. Couldn’t even get a plumber for 4 days. Had to have the whole house repiped. Was monumental when we finally got water. So I understand your elation.🤗
