Just about 15 minutes ago my area, that includes 500,000 people regained power. We had a power outage that lasted for about 90 minutes. We've had 1,300 lightening strikes, many or most are in the town my ex-husband lives in. I asked him to come here, he thinks it's going to be okay.
I was in New York for 911, and a major black out four years ago. We as a population are not prepared for major disasters. I watched from the street, civilians stopping four lane traffic to allow emergency vehicles to pass-by. People were asking what they could do to help the elderly. My community is exceptional.
I realized I had $1.25 in my wallet. What could I do? No ATM's, no virtual assistance. I couldn't even get a cell line out. We should be prepared. I should have had a candles, cash and a flashlight. Well actually, I just didn't have hidden cash. I do have an emergency kit from Costco. Whomever makes them should include a $200.00 waterproof cash bag inside. We should have emergency dollar currency that only goes into affect when we reach a code "XYZ level." Emergcash. I'm going to push my Senators about this.
I have to shut down because of city warnings, I just wanted to say that NYC., rocks and I love my people. They care.
Love, Carrie
