WE WERE THE ONLY ONE ON OUR STREET TO HAVE ELECTRICITY . MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS CAME AND STAYED, SOME JUST TOOK SHOWERS, BUT EVERYONE PITCHED IN HELPING TO PROVIDE FOOD AND COOK FOR US ALL. AND WE DID LOSE OUR ELECTRIC FOR A FEW HOURS AT A TIME, WE ALL GATHERED AROUND AN OIL LAMP AND PLAYED CARDS AND SHARED STORIES.
