112. Post storm is what I dread the most.

Sat Oct 25, 2025, 08:12 AM

Saturday

We usually don't get direct hurricane impacts where we live.But we do get the rain and wind enuff to lose power, the longest was 3 days.
3 days of no moving air in very humid very hot weather is quite difficult for seniors esp.Difficult to sleep, hard to breathe.
It's one of those problems you have to experience to understand.
