Weather In Westmoreland (KS) America

"We are okay here. Our electricity came on about 1:18 p.m. today (Dec. 14, 2007) --- that was three days without power --- it went off on Tuesday at about 1:18 p.m.. We bought an electric power generator and ran a light, the coffee maker, the refrigerators (2 each), and tried to run a small heater. The heater was not big enough capacity to help so we wrapped up in blankets and sat for a while before finally going to bed and there we were warm under a thermal blanket, feather comforter, and another cover of the bed spread. So we discovered new meaning to the phrase "a long winter's night"! How much sleep can one get going to bed after dark (dark by six thirty, in bed before nine o'clock) and the next morning when it gets light at about seven thirty?? Sure should be rested up. The only phone we had was our cell phone and, of course, no internet!

We came home from a morning meeting in Manhattan (KS) at about 1:10 or 1:15 p.m. to get ready for a funeral and hadn't been in the house but just a few minutes when the power came on --- sure did feel good to have heat running. The house is getting warm. G'day Mate." -- Marian & Jim Bradley
