In '83, Alicia took out our power for well over a week. That storm hit after many days of soaking rain, so the ground was soft and the hurricane "liberated" many trees from the ground.
After a couple of days of excruciating heat and humidity, my Dad rented a big-a** generator and we made it through with some semblance of comfort. The generator's power output was not precisely regulated, so as the motor's RPM's varied, the lights in our house would subtly brighten and dim like the Haunted Mansion at Disneyworld.
Hope you guys are hanging in there!
