The first hurricane I ever went through was also the worst.

This was almost ten years ago, but I still remember it clearly. I was renting a small apartment on the second floor at the time. I saw my neighbors boarding up their windows, and they explained to me why they were doing it. I didn’t have any wood, so I didn’t bother boarding up my windows ,and that proved to be a mistake! I knew the storm was coming, but I had no idea of how big and destructive a hurricane could be so I was just chilling in my AC and playing video games. Little did I know that the power would go out soon, which meant saying goodbye to both AC and video games for several days. That’s right, not hours but DAYS with no climate control, because the hurricane took out our entire power grid and it took nearly a week to restore power. If you think that these storms have the effect of cooling off the crippling summer heat, think again! If anything, hurricanes raise the humidity levels, making the air quality feel even warmer than it did before. It turns out that all of my neighbors had been more prepared than I was, and a few of them even had gas powered generators so they could keep their air conditioners running. Another couple of people just stayed that whole week in their air conditioned RV in the parking lot with the engine running. I tried to crash other people’s A/C but no one would let me in!
