Last week we were tracking a terrible storm that is off the coast from where I live. It was supposed to be a really bad storm and it was coming straight for us. My family did everything we could do to prepare. We went out and purchased gallon jugs of water, non perishable goods and batteries for all the flashlights. However, there was no gas left in the town. I know that sounds dramatic but we really could not find any gas any where we looked. We didn’t want to risk running out of gas by driving around to much so we had to eventually call it quits. The worst part about this is that we will not have any gas for our generator. We will have to survive until the power gets turned back on without air conditioning. I think I will be fine because I don’t get warm very easily, but I know my brother will not be. He is the kind of guy that will have the air conditioner turned on during the cold months and during the summer he always has the air conditioning vents blowing directly on him. I don’t know how he likes to keep the air conditioner running so high. Lucky for me my parents have a smart thermostat so I don’t have to have my room the same temperature that he does. I can keep the air conditioner in my room set to a comfortable 75 degrees. We would probably get into a lot of arguments if we had to keep both of our rooms set to the same temperature. That is probably why my parents got a smart thermostat!
