Meanwhile, I was starving. All I had in the house was a bottle of olive oil, a carton of skim milk, a bag of microwave popcorn kernels, and half a cup of dog food. I had to leave town within 24 hours. I tried to drive out of the neighborhood, backing up extremely slowly around power lines, and I made it about four blocks until fallen trees blocked the road on both sides. I started to cry a little as the reality began to sink in: I had no connections. I had no supplies. I had no escape. I was virtually alone.
Early in the morning, I texted my new friend who I had been drinking with on Wednesday. We joked about how lucky he was to have a gas stove to make coffee and how I was having trouble with my electric stove. I also half-joked that I would contact him in case of emergency, although I didn’t think we would be unreachable for a few hours. I knew he lived nearby, but I didn’t know his address, only that he was on the other side of a large fallen tree that no one could get past. I texted him that I was stressed and needed food. If he got this message, could he send me his address? I tried to catch enough bars so my message could get through. When I got a bar, I wasn’t sure if he had service to receive it.
As the wind and rain died down, I saw a few people walking around, so I ventured outside. A man was wandering around, surveying the damage, telling me he had come across some power lines. “The whole town is out,” he said. “Nothing has power.” He showed me how he had safely stepped over the downed power lines. Maybe I could walk down the block, I thought. At this point, I had lost any cell service at my house. I waved to my next-door neighbors, who yelled at me to hurry up and get some water if I didn’t already have it. I filled two large pots from the tap. I knew from camping that that was enough drinking water to last me about three or four days, although I didn’t think I’d need it. Water was still coming out of the tap as usual.
