Parts of St. Louis City and County still without power... |
|
after two intense thunderstorms hit Wednesday. People have had to throw tons of food out, pay through the nose for tree removal, drive miles to find gas stations with working pumps and take their pets to cooling centers. Ice is almost impossible to find and people are being given MRE's. The city's power is almost restored but some will have to wait several more days.

2. You're in St. Louis, as well? |
|
Me, too. Just got our power yesterday. I've heard from people at work that it could be up to 11 more days. My heart goes out to everyone still without power, especially children and the elderly.

Granite city, Illinois.
Hit and miss with the power at least we don't have to boil our water anymore.
