You should have been prepared. Now, it costs you.

Roger, you seem like a decent dude. But you have no idea what people are living through right now. I live in Denham. There is no natural gas run to my area. Have no idea why. So I have a generator, but it won’t kick off central AC. I went got 30 gallons of gas a week before storm hit, to beat crowd. I got food.

I did the best I could to prep. And my gas is holding but running out. My food is running lower. My inside of house is 86 degrees. I have high powered fans everywhere. But my windows are vertical. They don’t allow for typical window units. So I’m trying to make a plan B on that.

My point, do you know how hard it is for a normal person to prepare for no electricity for possibly 4 weeks or more? Because that’s what we’re being told. I’m sorry, I’m good for a week maybe, but am scrambling to keep my family going.

And trust me, I have it GREAT compared to most. People lost their homes. Lost everything they own. Lost human life. Tell me, how do you expect the average person to prepare for that?

Dude, I’m not complaining. I thank God every morning that we didn’t lose much and are mainly very uncomfortable and surviving on mostly sandwiches. To suggest people should have just been prepared is actually hurtful to people that are really struggling right now.
