The kids and I have been missing my husband a great deal. He has been gone for the last 5 days because of all of the storms that are on the west coast. The storms have brought a lot of rain, when, and snow in the higher elevations. My husband is an electrical repair contractor. Most of the time he works on the lines that run from the street to the houses and businesses. When there are repairs that need to be made in emergency situations, my husband is one of the electrical repair contractors that are regularly called. He was gone half of the summer one year because of hurricanes in the southeast. This is easily the longest that he has been gone in a long time, especially during the winter months. The West Coast doesn’t normally get a lot of rain. They have had a soaking amount of water. Dams, rivers, and reservoirs are all at their peak amount and spilling over. We are lucky that we have not lost any electricity at all during the storm. We had a couple of days when I thought things were going to be bad, but I was happy to see that we did not lose any power. The worst time for us to lose electricity in our home is when my husband isn’t there. He’s the guy who takes care of all of the electrical repairs in our house. If my husband is gone, I have to contact a regular service electrician and representative that is unfamiliar to my home.
