Hurricane Sandy (3)
Stella Tse & Others
7 November 2012
KT Lai: Peter, there
is no use to cook enough food for several days and put them in a defrosted frige (no electricity) !!!
You don't have to cook anything. You
can just pick up any veggie in your garden and eat. :>) (not coding error
:>)).
Peter
Cheung: You are right
on that. I still don’t have electricity this morning. So I try not to open the frige door too often. I will eat what is still ok. Time to
clean up my refrigerator anyway! Thank you for the nice pictures of the silk
tour. Did you pick any tung chung
Tsia tsao?
Kay: NY冇電, 冇燈
冇o野好做, 唯有造人
十個月後, Junior New NYCers 陸續出世
彭博市長因人口增長失控請辭...............信不信由你
Shirley: Bingo! Kay,
that was what (might have) happened exactly.....to Charles and Peter!
Looking forward to the good news in
10 months on the arrival of Charles Junior and Peter Junior! They might name
her/him Sandy which is a name for both sex.
Peter
Cheung: I finally got
my power back last night. Just lost some frozen veggies. And some dark cold
nights. There are still 400,000 people still without power in NJ. Hope Shirley
gets her power back also or soon.
Peter
Wu: By
the sound of it, you lost power for several days and you only lost some frozen
veggies?
Your
fridge must have super-insulation. If my fridge were to lose power for a day,
most of the stuff will have melted and had to be chucked.
But
then the temperatures in your neck of the wood are not exactly high so that may
have helped.
How
did you manage with the daily ablution in those days? Did you have cold
showers? Or did you try to ‘marinate salt fish’ (醃鹹魚)?
Peter
Cheung: Peter,
I put a lot of cold packs in the frige and tried not
to open the doors too often. I have gas heat. But without electricity I could
not cook. I could not turn on the heater. The air temp was around 50oF(10oC).
My water heater has not problem. I am happy it is
over for me. Temp for these 2 days is in the 30's. There was frost on my car
window this morning. NYC major blamed all this on global warming and will vote
for Obama today. I also exercised my right and voted.
