As we restore power and clean debris from yards and streets there are a few things about an event like this that I wanted to share.
1. It can cause real damage to the world, but can also have a profound impact on those who might struggle with mental health issues. Last night it was difficult to sleep. I kept worrying and trying to be ready to jump up in a flash if the need arose. It was difficult and resulted in a difficult day.
2. Can you ever really deny climate change? No. Don't be a denialist...did I just make that up? Don't be a defeatist...it is NOT what it is! Make small changes.
If you're running a generator all day... imagine you've sat with your car idling all day...same thing.
With no power here it would be nice to enjoy the quiet...but all I hear is a generator that hasn't stopped since it started about 8 hours ago.
Stay safe...help people!
Love!
