Losing power out here's not an uncommon thing. We've been without power for over a week before.
We have both propane and kerosene back up heat and a 5000 watt generator.

I'm an AZ guy who dreads the thought of a power failure in the Summer. 119 in the shade here today. No AC would really be bad.

I remember one summer, we lost power for about a week.
It was hot so we'd go tubing on the local river during the day and cook our suppers on the grill.
The generator kept the 'fridges and freezers cold and we could still watch stuff and go online.

My GF used to live in Yuma. She would call me and say: "It's 120 in the shade". Then she would tell me: "There ain't no shade!!!". I told her that I had always heard it was "dry heat", so it didn't seem so hot. She said "They lie". "It's humid too".

BTW...I spent two years in North Africa. I arrived in April. Wearing winter clothing. As the plane was landing, I saw funny looking wavy distortion over the runway. Wondered what that was all about. Soon found out. Yep...about 110-120.

Best regards, Les
