Powerless
Last night, a major storm hit St. Louis, knocking out power to about 500,000 “customers”—meaning residences, offices, etc. That amounts to probably close to one million people without power, including me. AmerenUE is estimating that it will take them five to nine days to restore power fully, so who knows how long I’ll be without it. Considering I’m moving in ten days, the timing probably could’ve been better… but oh well.
No AC, no computer (I’m at Brody’s right now, thankfully he wasn’t affected), no refrigeration, no lights, no phone other than my cell phone. So if you need to contact me, use my cell number: (314) 922-1923. Here’s hoping everyone else is okay.
