Tuesday, Jan. 6, 9: 50 p.m. We are sitting in our warm living room; the TV is running; everything is peaceful. Our back yard is brightly lit(照亮的), as if somebody turns on floodlights! Suddenly the light goes out. Then everything goes black. We find the flashlight and some candles and go to bed. |
Wednesday, Jan. 7, 7: 30 a m. My first thought after waking up is that it is very cold in the bedroom. Clearly, the power has not come back on. After I look out of the window, I feel even more depressed because it is still raining heavily. The temperature in the house has gone down to 10 degrees. Although that isn’t too bad, we have no idea when the power will come back on. So Ron lights a fire in the fireplace. |
Thursday, Jan 8, 12: 30 p. m. It has started to snow. The poor trees, which are already bent(弯曲的)under the ice, now have to carry the weight of snow. Ron comes back home, as there is no power in his office. What’s more, the storm is supposed to last until Saturday morning. |
Friday, Jan 9, 6: 00 p. m. Still no power. Even though we have lit a series of candles, it is difficult to do anything in their weak light. I am sitting beside several candles, but I am having trouble reading. |
Saturday, Jan. 10, 1: 00 p. m I take the car to go on a search for a store. The destruction along the roads is sad: everywhere, trees have been broken and the traffic light is out of order. I buy something like bread, some fruit, more drinking water and cat food. |
Monday, Jan 12, 9: 46 p. m. Suddenly the alarm system(警报系统) goes off and the fridge and the answering machine come on. After so many days, the power has come back on! |
