Storms are getting worse with climate change. I’ve had no power for a few hours at a time. The thing is you don’t know when you will or won’t lose power. We had an evening of 10-12 tornadoes at the end of FEBRUARY in the Chicago area. Not normal. I had all my stuff together and spent the evening in the bathroom. There was one a couple of miles from me.
