Yea, this is a frustrating weather pattern much like what happened to Oklahoma in the 1930s. I always had to admire how tough my wife's grandmother was. She raised 3 boys and 2 girls on a farm in western Oklahoma during that period. No electricity at all. No telephone. The water well was a hand pump in the front yard so for any water it was an effort. Imagine a day in 105 degree temps outside with a fine dust blowing in the wind. A old wood building more like a storage shed of today. It would get as hot as an attic of today inside. The family is hungry so you go into the kitchen area and light up the cast iron wood burning stove to cook on. Of course that heats up the house even more. You can't really open a window or the house will fill up with dirt blowing in the wind.
With no electricity there is not even a fan much less air conditioning. You can't do much at night because all you have is a kerosene lamp and candles as a light source.
The internet was really really slow back then before dialup, it was snail mail and it might take a week to get a letter into the big city.
Forget the good ol days. I will take modern technology any day.
