We are without power...except by generator!
Apparently a truck crashed in the pass and started a fire and 4 power lines were ruined. They said it would take 2-4 days to fix. Meanwhile, the pass is closed and those who use it have had to take skull valley, which is the long way around for those who live in Tooele.
Monday night I was fixing dinner and the power kept shutting off. Don't worry...I was able to cook the meat fully before it shut off for good! No salmonella here!!
So coming from Florida where we are used to being without power for days due to hurricanes and such, we immediately went into survival mode. We were at the gas station buying ice, flashlights, candles and charcoal!
A few minutes after coming home from the store a neighbor told us that there was a
base wide generator
that was going to be turned on in a couple of hours.
Wow!
A generator that works the whole base??!! Amazing!
So no sleepless nights due to the heat.
No cooking our food outside.
And better yet School is in session!
They are prepared!
I am glad to be here where they anticipate these kind of things!
Living here does have it's perks!

Good thing they take care of you on the base. It's nice to be somewhere that "they" think of just about everything.
